In July 2013, an excavation was conducted in Rosh Pinna (Permit No.
A-6858; map ref. 25020/76409; Fig. 1), prior to the construction of an
electricity transformation installation. The excavation, on behalf of the
Israel Antiquities Authority and funded by the Local Council, was directed
by G.B. Jaffe (photography), with the assistance of Y. Ya'akobi
(administration), A. Shapiro and M. Abu (surveying and drafting) and W.
Atrash (scientific guidance). Further assistance was provided by S. Sinai
and Y. Pop of the Rosh Pinna Conservation Association Archives, and D.
Adler, a Rosh Pinna veteran settler, whose memoirs record events in Ja'una
during the 1940s and 1950s. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE HE /*
