KANAYIS [376]

Visited by Penny Wilson for EES in 2005:
This site is in an inaccessible location behind a village. It probably consists of an area under the village, for example near an old saqiya there was a good concentration of pottery fragments and some bone. Further beyond the village there are two low mounds, either side of a canal. The mound nearest the village was an old cemetery whose tombs were almost all removed, except for one empty building left in the centre at the top. A few pottery fragments were noticeable on the ground and a fragment of a quartzite mortar with lug handles was found on the surface. The second mound was a functioning cemetery, with a noticeable set of graves decorated with distinctive tombs.
