Horvat Maon/Horvat Ma'on,[1][2] Arabic: Khirbet Ma'in[3][4] or Tell Máîn (SWP map No. 25), is an archaeological site in the Hebron Hills, West Bank, rising Шаблон:Convert above sea level, where the remains of the ancient town of Ma'on (Шаблон:Lang-he) have been excavated. The town, now a ruin, is mentioned in the Book of Joshua (Шаблон:Bibleverse) and the Books of Samuel (Шаблон:Bibleverse). It still had a Jewish population during the Roman and Byzantine periods, and a synagogue was discovered there. The site is located about Шаблон:Convert southeast of Yatta.

Etymology

The Hebrew name is variously spelled as Horvat Ma'on,[2] Horvat Maon,[1] or Hurbat Ma'on. Tel Ma'on is sometimes also used.[5]

The Hebrew word ma'on means 'dwelling', 'habitation'.[6]

Horvat, horbat, hurbat, hurvat are transliteration variants of the Hebrew word for 'ruins' and direct equivalents of the Arabic khirbet. Tell is the transliteration of the Arabic word, tel of the Hebrew one, both meaning mound created by accumulation of settlement layers.

In ancient sources

Hebrew Bible

Шаблон:See also

The site is first mentioned as one of the cities of Judah.[7][8] Maon was the place of birth of Nabal the Carmelite.[9] In Шаблон:Bibleverse, "the wilderness of Maon" is mentioned as a place of refuge for David when he fled from king Saul.[7] The site is not referred to again in biblical sources.[7]

Late Roman (?) and Early Byzantine period

After the destruction of the Second Temple, there is again a reference to the site, when Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai is said to have gone up to Maon of Judah.[7][10]

In the early 4th century CE, Maon was mentioned in Eusebius' Onomasticon as being "in the tribe of Judah; in the east of Daroma."[11] During the Late Roman-Early Byzantine period, Darom or Daroma (Hebrew and Aramaic for "South") became a term used for the southern Hebron Hills in rabbinic literature and in Eusebius' Onomasticon.[12][11] At the time, the Hebron Hills were demographically separated into two distinct districts, with only the southern one retaining a Jewish population along with a newer, Christian one.[13]

Archaeology

Occupation periods

Archaeologists have discovered at the site potsherds dating back to the Early Bronze Age, the Iron Age (Israelite period) including jar handles bearing the palaeo-Hebrew inscription LMLK, 'for the king', and from the Hellenistic period.[7] Sherds have also been found in situ from the Roman and Byzantine periods, as well as from the Middle Ages.[7] Wine and olive presses from the Roman and Byzantine periods were discovered on the west slope of the tell.[14] The ancient synagogue of Ma'on is dated to the Byzantune period (see below).[14] The absence of material traces from the late 7th-early 8th century are an indication of the abandonement of the village at that time.[14]

Byzantine-period synagogue

A synagogue dating back to the Byzantine/Talmudic period was discovered at Hurvat (Horbat) Ma'on.[15] Two occupation phases were discerned, covering the 4th/5th through the 7th century.[14]

19th-century observations

C.R. Conder of the Palestine Exploration Fund visited the site in 1874,[16] during which time a brief description was written of the site:

Tell Maʻîn –– A mound some 100 feet high. On the west are foundations, caves, and cisterns, and foundations of a tower about 20 feet square. The masonry in this tower is large, with a broad irregular draft and a rustic boss. One stone was 3 feet 8 inches long, 2 feet 9 inches high, the draft about 3 inches wide. There is also a round well-mouth, 5 feet diameter, cut out of a single stone.[17]
