| Summary: | This article deals with the rural vicinity of the towns of Yavneh and Yavneh-Yam (on Israel's coastal plain) in the Byzantine period (ca. mid-fourth to mid-seventh centuries C.E.), and synthesized archaeological data relating to the Jewish, Christian, and Samaritan populations of this region. The present study is based on literary sources and a few previous archaeological discoveries, but mainly is focused on the results of comprehensive archaeological surveys conducted in the region by the authors on behalf of Tel Aviv University since 2001. The main aim is to assemble data about the hinterland of Yavneh and Yavneh-Yam throughout their history. Inter alia, these surveys have revealed much new evidence about rural settlement in the discussed area in the Byzantine period, including some important details about the religious identity of the settlement in this region. |
