This small group includes bullae, scarabs, scaraboid, figurines-amulets, beads. The presentation of the objects is accompanied by a discussion of the stratigraphic context of these finds and the related chronological problems of the early Iron Age in the southern Levant.

Il appartient à un large groupe de terracotta (masques et protomés) caractéristiques du milieu culturel syro-phénicien et punique de l’Âge du Fer. Notre présentation est accompagnée d’une description du contexte stratigraphique, d’une analyse iconographique, et d’une discussion sur son éventuelle fonction.

Th e excavations yielded a rich body of evidence pertaining, among other things, to the various aspects of the church architecture and decoration in Byzantine-Umayyad Palestine. Th is article is a preliminary summary of the architectural decoration of the church which was built in the sixth century and fi nally destroyed in the earthquake of 749. It includes the presentation and discussion of the architectural elements like capitals, columns, and column bases. Th e capitals belong to the so-called blocked-out family of capitals representing the simplifi ed version of the Ionic order. Th is type of capital has not yet been the topic of systematic and detailed studies, despite the fact that it is oft en found as an architectural element in several buildings in the cities of the northern Decapolis, such as, for example, Gadara and Abila. Th e monolithic column bases used in the church are of the Attic-type, widespread in the eastern Mediterranean from the Herodian period onwards.

The earliest occurrence of the Iron Age Cypriot imports at Keisan has been recorded in Stratum 8 (10th century BC), while their increased quantities appear in Strata 5 and 4 (c. 8th-7th century BC). The Black-on-Red ware is the most numerous, while the White Painted and Bichrome wares are quite rare. In Stratum 3 (580-380 BC), the number of Cypriot imports drops dramatically. This was probably the result of a rapid change in the political and then economic situation in this region. In 525 BC, Cyprus became part of the fifth Persian satrapy. This must have had a disastrous effect on the economic situation ...

During two seasons (2015–2016) of fieldwork a relatively large amount of glass fragments was unearthed in the two main excavated areas. The material is from contexts dated to the late Roman through early Islamic periods, spanning a time from the 4th to roughly the 8th century AD. The assemblage includes mainly tableware like bowls, plates, drinking vessels, and also a significant amount of raw-glass chunks. Apart from glass material coming from the excavated squares, a selection of items from the survey in 2014 completes the corpora of glass coming from the ancient settlement.
