Hurvat Mi'ar includes remain of an ancient settlement dating back to the Roman Period. The place that was inhabited since then up to modern times began as a Jewish settlement that existed there up to the Great revolt. On its ruins a Christian village was built and an Arab village existed there up to 1948. Today, the place is home to the Ya'ad moshav.[1][2][3][4]
History
[edit]The fact that there was an ancient site at this location was known from the PEF survey in the 19th century.[2][3] A salvation exploration dig was done before a new neighborhood was built within Ya'ad. The excavation revealed the site was inhabited from the the late Perssian Period up to modern times. Until 1948 there was an Arab village that was depopulated during Operation Dekel. During the Crussades the village was included in the Acre district as mentioned in a Papal bull granting the lands to the head of Mount Sion Monastery[5][6]
Archaeology
[edit]During the archaeological excavation at the site, five time periods were uncovered. The largest amount of findings are dated to the Crusades and Mamluk periods. Building walls were dated from all periods, as the frotified walls were dated to the Early Roman Period.[1] Typical pitchers of the Kefar Ḥananya ware[7] were dated to the Roman Period.[1] During 1996 an archaeological dig on the village outskirts, a two rock-cut tomb were discovered. One of the tumb consisted of 11 kokhim and a standing pit. In the tomb a coin stuck in Constantinople dating to the days of constantinus was found.[4][8]
According to the findings in the surveyes, excavations and the settlement's proximity to ancient Yodfat, lead researches to conclude that there was a Jewish village at the site, that was destroyed during the Grat Revolt.[1][9]
