HEADS OR SNAILS? A Rustic Feast at Hellenistic Philoteria (Tel Bet Yerah, Israel), circa 150 BCE
JOURNAL OF EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN ARCHAEOLOGY AND HERITAGE STUDIES(2020)
Abstract
The contents of a small trash pit discovered in the recent excavations in Hellenistic Philoteria (Tel Bet Yerach/Khirbet el-Kerak) offer a unique opportunity to study the components of what appears to have been a single festive meal. Extant remains include numerous mammal bones, mollusc shells, and ceramic tableware; they suggest a rustic Mediterranean cuisine, compatible with the presence of Greek settlers in pre-Hasmonean Galiliee.
