Beschreibungen/Notizen
The archaeological fieldwork in 2010 at the site of Jiyeh (ancient Porphyreon), situated
on the Mediterranean coast between ancient Berytus and Sidon, focused in on full-scale excavations
of the Late Antique streets and residential quarter (4th–7th century AD ), uncovering 21 rooms and
three alleys. The results contributed to a better understanding of the street network in the quarter
and the nature of the architecture. The quarter comprising the 21 newly uncovered rooms taken
together with 80 from earlier fieldwork in 2008 and 2009 formed an extensive residential complex,
approximately 40 m by 35 m. It is a unique example of private domestic architecture illustrating
everyday life in Roman and Byzantine Phoenicia. A bread oven (tannur) suggested the presence
of a bakery in this part of the settlement.
