The Stratigraphy

The site presents the following general stratigraphic sequence: Seven areas were opened, as much as 300 m apart (Plan 4.1). Not all strata were found in every area, and each area had its own series of locus numbers. The location of the most important loci can be found on the relevant plans. Tiberias lies below sea level and thus all elevations are negative. At the time of excavation, to avoid confusion, an arbitrary zero point was chosen so that recorded elevations would be on a positive scale. Unfortunately no record of the zero point chosen has survived, although it was
