dc.description.abstract | Khirbet et-Tireh, located approximately 16 km northwest of Jerusalem, is a multi-period site with Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Early Islamic remains. Although the site had long been neglected by archaeologists and begun to suer from urban expansion and looting, several seasons of excavation conducted by Al Quds University beginning in 2013 have unearthed an extraordinary range of monuments and features, including underground chambers from the Roman era, a Byzantine and early Islamic fortication system, two Byzantine churches, and more than 400 square meters of mosaic pavement. | en_US |
