Ḥadashot Arkheologiyot— Excavations and Surveys in Israel 132 Jerusalem, Ha-Nevi’im Street: The Coins Donald T. Ariel One-hundred and eleven coins were uncovered in the 2007 and 2008 excavations on 25 Ha-Nevi’im Street in Jerusalem (see Sulimani 2020); forty-nine of these, all bronze, were identified (see catalogue below). The excavation uncovered architectural remains of the two main construction phases at the site, from the Byzantine and the Ottoman periods. A third of the identified coins (Nos. 1–16), however, antedate these dates, and clearly reflect activity in that part of Jerusalem from the second century BCE to the first century CE. Almost all of the ceramic and glass finds from the excavations seem to derive from fill material brought to the site, apparently from somewhere nearby, to level the area prior to construction and to form the floor beddings of a large Byzantine-period structure constructed at the site. This can explain the earlier finds. However, this is not the first excavation in the vicinity that produced relatively large numbers of coins of these centuries.
