Fureidis

292 Views

A cave above the old part of Fureidis on the western slope of the Carmel was found to contain fragments of pottery from the Chalcolithic period, including large bowls, jars, ossuary fragments and a pale pink limestone pendant. It appears to have been used as a dwelling and a burial cave. The artifacts in the cave attest to the presence of a settlement from the pre-Ghassulian period.[4] Pottery and remains from an aqueduct dating to the Roman and Byzantine periods have also been found.[5] In the 19th century, three rock-hewn tombs were examined at Fureidis, each with several kokhim.[6] At the northern edge of Fureidis, pottery remains from the 13th -14th century, a coin dating to 1388–1399 CE, and building remains dated to the Mamluk period have been excavated.
