Four excavation seasons have been carried out at the site till date (2007 to 2011). The major findings include
1) A 14.5 meters wide Synagogue from late 3rd or early 4th century AD
2) Massive Residential Complexes and an Oil Press from at least 2nd century AD
3) Weapons and a hoard of coins from the days of Hadrian Caesar (2nd century AD)
4) Beautiful mosaic fragments depicting scenes that have no parallels neither in other synagogues, nor in Roman-Byzantine art in Israel at all.
