Description

Akko III: The Late Periods comprises two parts (IAA Reports 72 and 73), the third and fourth volumes in a series publishing the results of four excavations that took place within and just outside of the Old City of ‘Akko between 1991 and 1998. These two volumes present the archaeological finds from the Early Islamic to Ottoman periods, concentrating on the architecture and small finds from the Crusader period.

The present volume (Part 1; IAA Reports 72) presents the excavations at the site of the Hospitaller Compound. The Introduction comprises a brief survey of the history of ‘Akko from the Early Islamic to the Ottoman periods, based on documents, maps, engravings and photographs, and a short summary of the archaeological research, with a reference map of most of the archaeological excavations of the Crusader period in the city. This is followed by descriptions of the above-ground architecture, the stratigraphy and excavation results and related analyses, as well as reconstruction and conservation works. The small finds include glass and metal objects and Ottoman clay pipes (the pottery was published in Akko I, IAA Reports 51). A summarizing chapter integrates all these studies––history, architecture and archaeology.
