This article concerns the results of the third excavation campaign of the German-Israeli Tell Iztabba Excavation Project. Tell Iztabba is the location of the town of Nysa (Scythopolis) founded in the Seleucid period. This campaign was carried out in the months of February and March 2023. Based on our geophysical prospection of the site in February 2019 as well as other archaeological considerations, three areas of archaeological interest were excavated (E, F and G). The excavated evidence sheds light on the Seleucid-period foundation site and its Hasmonean destruction; in addition, it yields records on both earlier (Early Bronze Age) and later (Byzantine) occupations. The focus was on studying the site's Hellenistic and Byzantine fortifications as well as domestic architecture. Construction methods employed in these complexes show the predominance of local building traditions, while the unearthed finds reveal a mix of local and imported goods from the eastern Mediterranean.

This article deals with the results of the second excavation campaign of the German-Israeli Excavation Project at Tell Iżṫabbā, which is the location of the Seleucid-period founded town of Nysa (Scythopolis). The second excavation campaign, which forms the third season of our joint German-Israeli research project, was carried out in the month of February 2020; the focus of the season was an excavation in a new area (Area D) located between the previously opened areas of excavations of the Israel Antiquities Authority (Area Z) and ours (Area C) in the southeastern terrace of Tell Iżṫabbā (East). As in the previous seasons, the excavated evidence sheds light on the Seleucid-period foundation site and its Hasmonean destruction and also produces records on earlier (mainly Early Bronze Age) occupations. Most remarkable was the exploration of a late antique 'Podium Building' and the examination of Roman architectural decorative items providing insights into the post-Seleucid occupation history of the site.

This article deals with the results of the first excavation campaign of the German-Israeli Tell Iż ṫ abbā Excavation Project, which is the location of the Seleucid-period founded town of Nysa (Scythopolis). The first and second seasons of our joint German-Israeli research project were carried out in the months of February and September 2019; the focus of the February season was a survey and a geophysical pro-spection of the site. Based on the February season results and preliminarily published earlier works on the site, three areas of archaeological excavation were dug (A, B and C). The excavated evidence sheds light on the Seleucid-period foundation site and its Hasmonean destruction and also produces records on earlier (Early Bronze Age) and later (Byzantine) occupations. Hellenistic domestic architecture shows the predominance of local building traditions, while the unearthed finds show a mix of local and imported goods from the eastern Mediterranean.
