A 1,600-year-old mosaic was recently found during archaeological excavations in the coastal city of Yavne, carried out prior to the development of a new neighborhood.
In recent years, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) has been conducting large-scale archaeological excavations to the southeast of Tel Yavne as part of the Israel Land Authority’s city development program.
The excavations, directed by Dr. Elie Haddad, Liat Nadav-Ziv, and Dr. Jon Seligman, unearthed an extensive industrial zone that was in operation for several centuries.
