Description
This is the first of the series of final reports on the excavations at the Hellenistic city of Maresha, and documents the work in the extensive man-made subterranean complexes below the lower city during the 1980s. Three subterranean complexes are presented here (70, 21, 44–45), including the study of their architecture, pottery and small finds and the industries that took place there. Chapters 1 and 2 present the setting of the site and review previous excavations, while Chapter 9 summarizes all the data in order to present a human face for the finds uncovered here.
