Caesarea Maps & Plans: Hypocaust & Furnace

You Are Here
In 1990, Netzer and a Hebrew University team returned to the site with Kathryn Gleason, Barbara Burrell and a group of 20 student volunteers under the sponsorship of the University of Pennsylvania. The season produced important new additions to the 1976 discoveries, consisting primarily of evidence for the development of the east range during the Roman period.

A tile used in the furnace bears the stamp of the Tenth Legion Fretensis.
