7. We wish to thank Uzzi and Rina Avner for their help in clearing the "tents" area. They also are of the opinion that tents had stood here in antiquity. Sites that served as tent camps are well known from various arid regions in the Near East. Most of these sites are dated to the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods. Cf. S.R. Rosen, "Roman Period Pastoral Tent Camp in the Negev, Israel," Journal of Field Archaeology 20 (1993) 441-51
