Ancient Palace in Israel. The Lod mosaic was excavated in 1996 by Miriam Avissar and it is part of a salvage excavation that was conducted on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Municipality of Lod, which wanted to widen He-Halutz Street. The mosaic dates to the Roman period, to the end of the third or the beginning of the fourth century CE. The mosaic was covered over with soil at the conclusion of the excavation after funds were not found for the conservation and development of the site.
A designated contribution that was received by the Israel Antiquities Authority has resulted in a proposal for the conservation and development of the site. Thus the aim of the project is to design a program for the preservation of the mosaic and its presentation.
