At the Barne’a Site, which is located in the Barne’a neighborhood of Ashkelon, finds were found which testify to the city’s being a center of wine production and commerce in the Byzantine period. At the Barne’a Site were found installations for the production of wine from the 3rd century CE, the remains of a winery, a factory for the production of pottery with the symbol of the Ashkelon Winery, and more.
