Ellenblum et al. (2015:4) proposed that an earthquake may be inferred from the Hellenistic-period remains at Tel Anafa. They noted that in this two-phase Hellenistic settlement located about 20 km north of Tel Ateret, “an abrupt termination of a well-developed settlement with elaborate construction” ( Herbert in Stern et al. 1993:58–61, v. 1) could be reinterpreted as the result of earthquake destruction. Herbert in Stern et al. (1993 v. 1) did not report explicit evidence for seismic damage in the Hellenistic levels. They dated the construction of a Late Hellenistic stuccoed building to around 125 BCE, observing that “a coin of Alexander Zebina (128–125 BCE) found in the construction fill of the bath’s southern room is the latest find under any of the building’s original floors.” They further noted that “a massive leveling and terracing operation took place with the construction of the Late Hellenistic stuccoed building, obliterating earlier architectural remains.” Such large-scale reworking could account for the absence of clear second-century BCE archaeoseismic indicators. Numismatic evidence and stamped amphora handles indicate that the site was abandoned in the second quarter of the first century BCE. This chronology parallels that of Tel Ateret, which was abandoned sometime after 65/64 BCE. While no direct evidence links the abandonment to seismic activity, such a trigger remains a possibility.
