Broken Pots, Reconstructed Identities

Ancient Seeds of Knowledge
More than 11,000 seeds and plant parts from the Jerusalem landfill were identified. To collect these remains, the excavated material had to be sieved. For the archaeobotanical remains that had been charred, a flotation machine separated the botanical remains from sediment, and the charred remains floated into empty netting. After sieving and floating the sediment, the archaeobotanical remains were examined using a microscope and compared to known plant types.

Strata: New Dig Reports: Fortified Settlements in the Biblical Negev
The arid region of the Negev in southern Israel, though largely inhospitable, hosted a thriving civilization in Biblical times. Copious traces of ancient life still await proper exploration—hiding in remote caves and buried in massive archaeological mounds (tells), which accumulated through consecutive human occupations. Tel Malḥata in the northern Negev and Yotvata in the south represent two such recently explored centers.
