“…As an illustration of combining "then" and "now" GIS data, an analysis integrating georectified historical maps, CAD plans of the modern city, and digitally recorded archaeological features was performed during the 2007 excavations of the Ganor Compound on the south side of Yefet Street (Peilstöcker and Burke 2009). During the excavations, a question arose about the proximity of the Crusader-period architecture unearthed to the city's fortifications.…”

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 groundwork for future 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 from as early as the late Persian period.

This work is an outgrowth of the project's reappraisal of Jacob Kaplan's excavations in the Ramesses Gate area from 1955 to 1962. As the Egyptian fortress in Jaffa is the only one excavated in Canaan, its archaeological record provides a unique perspective on resistance to Egyptian rule from ca. 1460 to 1125 B.C.E., but especially during the second half of the 12th century B.C.E., when Jaffa was twice destroyed. Radiocarbon dates from these two destructions are presented, and it is suggested that they offer the clearest basis thus far for proposing ca. 1125 B.C.E. as a terminus post quem for the end of Egyptian rule in Canaan. The archaeological evidence, taken together with textual sources, yields a picture of local resistance to the Egyptian military presence in Jaffa likely originating in Canaanite centers located throughout the coastal plain. 1 introduction Situated on the central coast of Israel, on the southern side of Tel Aviv, and 60 km to the northwest of Jerusalem (fig. 1), Jaffa's antiquity and importance [aja 121 [aja 121
