Ha-On (South)
In February and March 2020, a salvage excavation was conducted south of Kibbutz Ha-’On and east of its resort village
(Permit No. A-8697; map ref. 258291–371/736309–423), following the identification of concentrations of ancient building
blocks on the surface. The excavation, undertaken on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority and funded by Kibbutz
Ha-’On, was directed by G. Leyfirer (field photography), with the assistance of Y. Ya‘aqobi and Y. Lavan (administration),
Y. Harel (preliminary tests), M. Peleg (photogrammetry), A. Shapiro (GIS), H. Tahan-Rosen (plans), R. Beeri (guidance),
Y. Alexandre (pottery) and Y. Tsur.
The excavation was conducted in a cultivated agricultural area, where orchards and groves had
previously been planted. A single square was excavated, yielding stones and finds from the Roman and
Mamluk periods. Previous excavations at the site revealed a mosaic floor of a church from the beginning
of the Byzantine period (Tzaferis 1966; Fig. 1: A-741), as well as a bathhouse from the end of the
Byzantine period – the Umayyad period and remains from the Mamluk period (Cinamon 2013; Fig. 1: A-
5705).
A layer of alluvium containing dressed stones, fieldstones, worn flint items and pottery was exposed on
the surface. Beneath the surface layer (L11–L14; Figs. 2, 3) were concentrations of stones of various
sizes, some dressed or plastered, and worn potsherds dating from the Roman and Mamluk periods (not
drawn). A layer of clay soil (L15), devoid of finds, was exposed below the stone concentrations. The
unearthed remains do not appear to be 
in situ
, possibly as a result of agricultural activity.
