Abstract
In November 1960, a trial excavation was conducted in Tel Erani, near Qiryat Gat, in an area designated for the textile industry (map ref. unknown). The excavation was directed by E. Yeivin. Two channels were excavated, in which walls and building remains were discovered. The excavator noted that the finds in the excavation were very poor, and consisted of few fragments of pottery and glass, only some of which were diagnostic. These meager finds were dated to the Byzantine period, and possibly to beginning of the Early Islamic period according to the excavator. Additional pottery sherds that were dated to the modern Arab period were found near the surface, as well as pottery sherds that were dated to the Iron age and the Persian and the Late Roman periods.
