Ancient Village or Settlement in Israel

Yavne, located on the Mediterranean coast 20 kilometers south of Jaffa and the same distance to the north of Ashdod, was known mainly as the center of learning of Jewish rabbis after the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE. There is also a tradition which claims that Yavneh was the burial place of the Biblical Reuven. Yavneh Yam, although little known, is important for understanding shipping practices in the ancient world. Last but not least, it is the location of the find of an important inscription which demonstrates the relations of the citizens with the Seleucid King Antiochus V.

Like some other coastal towns, Yavneh had an inland settlement and a counterpart on the sea about 8 kilometers to the northwest, which was Yavneh Yam. As the modern town of Yavneh covers the same place as historical Yavneh, archeological research has concentrated on the ancient coastal tel. The digs are fairly recent and are by no means finished, therefore the site has not yet been turned into a national park.
