Abstract The Dead Sea is a terminal lake of one the largest hydrological systems in Levant and may thus be viewed as large rain gauge for region. Variations its level are indicative climate variations Here, we present decadal- to centennial-resolution Holocene lake-level curve Sea. Then determine regional hydroclimatology that affected variations. To achieve this goal compare modern natural instrumental rainfall records quantify hydrology relative rise, fall, or stability. relationship under...

During the Early Islamic period, several emerging agricultural innovations enabled cultivation of summer crops in unproductive Mediterranean lands. This necessitated development water harvesting methods. study delves into creation Plot-and-Berm (P&B) agroecosystem along sandy coast Caesarea, Israel. From early tenth century to mid-twelfth century, coeval later part period and beginning Crusader a 1.5 km2 P&B was constructed maintained. Remarkably, this system still dominates landscape. The...

Beachrock is a sedimentary rock that forms rapidly through the cementation of beach-associated clasts by calcium carbonate within intertidal zone. On southern coast Israel, Holocene beachrock exposures typically appear as linear, shore-parallel platforms dip seawards. In archeological record, was exploited natural resource for various purposes, including production querns, millstones, basins, building stones, and other architectural elements. At Tel Yavne, site continuously settled from...
Continental margins sedimentary records reveal regional climate-ocean trends and identify mass transport deposits (MTD) reflect the paleoclimate paleoseismicity. This study used two radiocarbon-dated piston cores collected from shelf edge (122 m) mid-slope (588 offshore Israel at southeastern Mediterranean Sea. CT scanning showed Holocene sediment evolution, capturing a shift in grain size geochemistry, while detecting MTD units. The core recorded post glacial sea level flooding 10-11 ka BP,...
Lacustrine laminated sediments are often varves representing annual rhythmic deposition. The Dead Sea high-stand sections consist of mm-scale alternating detrital and authigenic aragonite laminae. Previous studies assumed these laminae were deposited seasonally. However, this assumption has never been robustly validated. Here we report an examination the seasonal deposition detrital-aragonite couplets from two well-known Late Holocene at Ze'elim fan-delta using palynology grain-size...
Pollution history of Pb and other trace metals was reconstructed for the first time Eastern Mediterranean, from a small urban winter pond (Dora, Netanya), located at densely populated coastal plain Israel. An integrated approach including geochemical, sedimentological, historical analyses employed to study sediments center pond. Profiles metal concentrations (Pb, Zn, V, Ni, Cu, Cr, Co, Cd, Hg) isotopic composition denote two main eras pre- post-19th century. The deeper sediment is...
This study examines the remains of an agricultural complex found in Yavneh coastal dunefield, central Israel. Known as a plot-and-berm agroecosystem, consisted earthworks crisscross pattern sand berms and sunken plots that were used for groundwater harvesting. The plots, which provided easy access to high table around them, are overlaid by gray unit covered pottery sherds artifacts. is more fertile than underlying sand, suggesting refuse enrichment. Artifactual similarity finds those inland...
