Tel Yavne, Archaeological site in Yavne, Israel

The archaeological mound covers a surface of 450 meters by 350 meters, rising 30 meters above the surrounding plain near the Sorek stream crossing point.

Following Jerusalem's fall in 70 CE, Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakkai established a center of Jewish learning at Tel Yavne with permission from Roman Emperor Vespasian.

The site contains remains from multiple civilizations, including Philistine, Roman, Byzantine, and Mamluke periods, with structures dating back 3,000 years.

Tel Yavne stands 20 kilometers south of Tel Aviv, offering archaeological evidence through electrical resistivity surveys and ground penetrating radar technology.

The location revealed the largest ancient winery discovered during recent excavations, dating back to the Byzantine period in the region.
