Kisilevitz (License Nos. A-6100 and A-6433). During the first season, work focused around a large arch and vaulted room. Underneath the arch was a deep fill layer (Phase I), which yielded imported ceramics dating from the 13th to the late-16th/early-17th centuries CE. To the west of the arch, a plaster floor and another surface were uncovered (Phases IIa-b), and these contained pottery from the Late Mamluk/Early Ottoman periods (15th-16th c.). The second and third seasons of excavation provided evidence for two earlier occupational phases with associated floors and architecture, located both inside and outside the arch. The first (Phase IIIb), included a ceramic assemblage dating from the Mamluk period (14th-15th c.), and the second one (Phase IIIc) yielded pottery of the Crusader/Ayyubid period (mid-12th to mid-13th c.). The pottery presented here includes locally-produced and imported bowls, basins, cooking wares, chamber pots, amphorae, jars, jugs, juglets, sphero-conical vessels and lamps. Taken together, the results of the Austrian Hospice excavations have provided important insights into the material culture and socio-economic history of Jerusalem during the Mamluk and Early Ottoman periods. The large variety and vast amounts of imported pottery dating
from the 15th and 16th centuries is previously either unknown or unpublished from excavations in the Old City of Jerusalem and its surrounding hinterland. It attests to thriving trade in ceramics during that period, as demonstrated by the presence of ceramic finewares from Egypt, Syria, Iran, China, Turkey, Italy and the Byzantine Aegean. In addition, Phases 2 and 3 supply valuable stratified information regarding the typo-chronology of locally-produced Jerusalem vessel forms of the 13th to 16th centuries, including many previously unknown or unpublished types, which can now be dated externally by the presence of the imported pottery with which they were found.

The well-preserved walled farmstead of H irbet Bēt Mazmīl, located on the southwest border of Municipal Jerusalem, provides a rare opportunity to investigate the development of Jerusalem's agricultural hinter-land from the late medieval period to today. The following is an interim stratigraphic report on the 2015-2017 excavations.
