Site Description

Cave oil press excavated by Leea Porat in 2006 on the western slope of the ancient site at Alone Abba, Lower Galilee (IAA permit A-4875, Area C). The excavation also investigated a road and a rock-cut winepress in Areas A and B. The pin marks the approximate oil-press location plotted in Alexandre 2008, fig. 1. Porat 2009 and Porat, Frankel and Getzov 2012 report the excavation. The church-area excavation (A-5506) is a separate locality.
