520 |a The skeletal remains of 48 individuals were recently found in four adjoining sites at the centre of modern Jaffa. The sites are part of a single graveyard from the Mamluk period, a time when Jaffa was largely abandoned. The representation of adult males in the excavated sample is almost exclusive, in contrast with the gender balance and age proportions in civilian cemeteries. Based on the combined analysis of historical and archaeological data, we suggest that the cemetery served guards of the Mamluk unit stationed in fortified towers overlooking the harbour, who were the only permanent inhabitants of Jaffa at that time. The presence of the guards is familiar from various textual and illustrated historical sources, but the cemetery is the first archaeological evidence to be found of their existence.
