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.

I also went to Moni Dafniou, an 11th century restored monastery that was built in part with remnants of ancient sites from the surrounding area. The church was built along Nea Moni and Osios Loukas, two churches belonging to monasteries of the 11th century, one in Chios and the other in Boeotia that have been also restored.

The scenes from the mosaics are from the life of Christ.

The Demna Baptistry - 6th century AD - in the Bardo Museum. This early Christian baptismal font is richly decorated with mosaics discovered in Demna. It is one of the finest Christian mosaics to have been found in Africa, and even throughout the Roman world.

Byzantine Mosaic, Bureij refugee camp, Gaza Strip, Palestine,

5th to 7th centuries AD,

Salman al-Nabahin, a Palestinian farmer, unearthed the mosaic pavement, thought to date from the fifth to the seventh century AD, while working in his olive orchard in Bureij refugee camp, about half a mile from the border with Israel.

Trying to understand why some trees had not properly taken root, Nabahin said he and his son began digging. Then the son’s axe hit something hard and unfamiliar in appearance.

The Palestinian ministry of tourism and antiquities said the mosaic included several panels depicting animals and other features of social life during the Byzantine era, the continuation of the Roman empire in eastern provinces from the fifth century.

Gaza is rich in antiquities, having been an important trading spot for civilisations dating as far back as the ancient Egyptians and the Philistines depicted in the Bible, to the Roman empire and the Crusades from the 11th to the 13th centuries.

Several discoveries have been made in recent years. Due to a lack of funds and expertise, Gaza has usually invited international groups to help with the process of excavation and preservation.
