Abstract
The excavation at the corner of Yehuda Ha-Yamit and Ha-Te‘uda Ha-Aduma Streets in Yafo uncovered remains dating to the eighteenth–twentieth centuries CE, including those of the late Ottoman and British Mandate neighborhood of al-Hureish. The earliest construction remains at the site, dated to the second half of the nineteenth century CE, suggest agricultural activity in the area or early residential structures with channels installed for drainage. This construction was later disrupted by a wall, possibly part of the eastern wall of the al-Hureish neighborhood, built in a subsequent phase. The main significance of the excavation was the al-Hureish neighborhood, founded in the late nineteenth century CE and inhabited until the 1970s. Three phases of the neighborhood were uncovered, showing numerous modifications and infrastructure changes over time and reflecting its decline—from an affluent suburb of Yafo to an improvised settlement for low-income immigrant populations.
