Abstract
In 1971 an excavation was conducted in ‘Akko, in the area of the new post office near the corner of the streets Ben Ami and Yehoshafat (map ref. 2076/7590. The excavation, under the direction of A. Oren, was carried out following the discovery of the building remains during the construction of the post office building. The excavator believed the building that was exposed was a public building, possibly a temple, that was dated to the Hellenistic period. Several layers were exposed, which included sections of a street, public buildings, and a water supply and drainage system. The segment of the street and the clay pipes beneath it were dated to the Roman period. These remains were severely damaged by the later construction. Most of the remains that were exposed were dated to the Hellenistic period.
