Skeletons of dwarfs have been found in many archaeological sites from around the world. Neverthel... more Skeletons of dwarfs have been found in many archaeological sites from around the world. Nevertheless, their descriptions (morphologically and metrically) are very limited. We describe herein the skeleton of a male dwarf, approximately 35–50 years old, found in the Byzantine cemetery (5 th –8 th century CE) of Rehovot-in-the-Negev, southern Israel. Living stature was estimated at 120–125 cm. Detailed morphological skeletal descriptions and morphometric analysis, together with computed tomography (CT) observations, suggest a diagnosis of achondroplasia. The long bones anomalies, in tandem with other features such as hydroceph-alus and spinal stenosis, are discussed in regard to their effect on the dwarf's daily life. The putative place of dwarfs in early Christian communities, compared with dwarfs from other times and places, will be addressed.

Human Skeletal Remains From The Hellenistic Tombs At Tel Hashash (1966/67 Season). Appendix II. In: Tal, O. and Taxel, I. A Re-appraisal of the Archaeological Findings at Tel Hashash: On the Archaeology of the Yarqon Estuary from Classical Times to Late Antiquity. 2010. Palestine exploration quarterly 142(3).
Tel Hashash is located within the boundaries of modern Tel Aviv. Surveys and excavations carried out in the site by the late J. Kaplan and H. Ritter-Kaplan during the 1960s and 1980s revealed remains and finds dated mainly to the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods. The present paper includes the presentation and analysis of these yet unpublished remains, and a revision of the excavators’ conclusions about the function and history of the site in classical times and Late Antiquity, in light of the archaeology and history of the lower Yarqon river and the central coastal plain.

The authors report and describe the remarkable rain silos discovered at Tel Tsaf in the southern Levant. These tall, white, barrel-shaped towers seem to mark the first appearance of monuments of demonstrative surplus.

crumbled to be studied. The skeletal remains from the three other burials were studied and are presented in this chapter. In addition, this chapter includes a report on the skeletal remains of three individuals found in non-burial contexts, one in Area C from Iron Age IIA and two I from Iron Age IIB.
