From Palestine in Pictures : A
Byzantine-era mosaic floor that was uncovered recently by a farmer in
Bureij, central Gaza Strip, is seen on 18 September. The farmer said he
stumbled on it while planting an olive tree last spring and quietly
excavated it over several months with his son. Experts say the discovery
of the mosaic is one of Gaza’s greatest archaeological treasures, which
are threatened by a lack of resources and the constant threat of
Israeli violence.
