Khurvat (Ruin) Daniela
Archaeological Site in the Western Galilee
חורבת דנעילה, ישראל
Khurvat Daniela is an archaeological site in the Upper Galilee. The site is located near the Sarach River parking lot. The findings of the archaeological site and the excavations conducted at the site attest to a large village whose central remains span five dunams.
It seems that the core of the settlement began in the Roman period and expanded in the Byzantine period. During the Crusader and Mamluk periods, the site was reconstructed, and the buildings and levels of the ancient floors were renovated.
Ancient Economy & Olive Oil Production
Five olive presses were exposed in the area, on which the economy of the settlement was based. The density of these industrial installations indicates that the village served as a major regional center for olive oil production, supplying surrounding settlements throughout the Roman, Byzantine, and medieval eras.
