Abstract
In July 1951, a salvage excavation was conducted in Tiberias, in the area between the Muslim cemetery in the north and the Sewage Treatment plant in the south (map ref. unknown). The excavation began under the direction of M. Dothan and continued under the direction of B. Ravni. The finds in the northern part of the excavated area (the Muslim cemetery) included clay pipes bearing remnants of plaster, large fieldstones, sections of basalt and marble columns, a cistern, walls and floors. A stone vessel was also found, and below it the base of a marble oven or kiln, around and above which were numerous pottery fragments that were dated to the Roman period. In another square was a bottle-shaped storeroom. The pottery found above the storeroom opening and around it was dated to the Byzantine period.
