Abstract
In August 1979, a salvage excavation was conducted in ‘Akko (Area N; map ref. unknown). The excavation, on behalf of the ‘Akko Excavations Project with the collaboration of the Department of Antiquities and Museums, was directed by M. Dothan and J. Schonfield (of the ‘Akko Excavations Project.), with the assistance of M. Feist (surveying and plans). The excavation site lies below the northwestern corner of Tel ‘Akko, in the section of the public carpark north of the municipal football field. The excavation was conducted following the discovery of skeletal remains and fragments of a sarcophagus, which were later identified as Roman burials, as well as a wall built of ashlar stones. The remains were discovered during the installation of a water supply line. The wall was damaged during the digging of the water channel.
