Abstract	:	In 2009 the Jaffa Cultural Heritage Project undertook a pilot-project excavation within the soon-to-be-renovated visitor s centre in Qedumim Square. These excavations were intended to clarify stratigraphic questions within area C of Jacob Kaplan s excavations (1961, 1965) and to lay the groundworkforfuture excavations by the project which was founded in 2007 as a partnership between UCLA and the Israel Antiquities Authority. Along with achieving these goals, the excavations exposed one of the best preserved examples of Hellenistic architecture in the southern Levant and confirmed the employment of a Hippodamian-style town plan fom as early as the late Persian period. © Palestine Exploration Fund 2014.
