Abstract
In January 1966, a trial excavation was conducted in Iraq al-Manshiyya, in the area between the Qiryat Gat cemetery in the east and the railway line in the west (map ref. 179/613). The excavation was carried out following land use conversion of the area around Iraq al-Manshiyya to industrial development. The excavation, on behalf of the Department of Antiques and Museums, was directed by D. Ussishkin. No archeological remains were found south of Iraq al-Manshiyya, but some modern Arab pottery sherds that were attributed to the village were found on the ground as well as pottery that was dated to the Roman–Byzantine period.
