| Summary: | In 1962, Michael Avi-Yonah of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem returned to his excavation of the synagogue site at Caesarea Maritima. His assistant, Avraham Negev, directed the excavation of four small areas east of the synagogue site and was assisted by E. Jerry Vardaman, formerly of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and later of Mississippi State University. A brief report listed the findings of two domestic structures, mosaic pavements, burials, two fragments of the Twenty-Four Priestly Courses, a “Hellenistic structure,” a fragment of a chancel screen, and baskets of Hellenistic pottery. Recently, Vardaman's notes, sketches, and photographs have become available, and they greatly increase our knowledge of those excavations. This paper presents that additional information and correlates it with the information gained from the 1975–1995 excavations in Field G of the Joint Expedition to Caesarea Maritima, a project of the Drew Institute of Archaeological Research of Drew University, directed by the late Robert J. Bull. |
