Square A (Fig. 1). Remains of a treading floor (L502; 0.4 × 2.0 m) that was founded on a layer of white plaster and paved with a white mosaic were exposed. A rock-hewn vat (L508; 0.8 × 0.8 m) in the southwestern corner of the floor was probably used for washing one's feet prior to treading the grapes. A circular vat (Loci 507, 512; diam. 1.2 m, depth 1 m) was exposed south of the treading floor. Fragments of jars (Fig. 2) that dated to the sixth century CE were discovered in the fill of the vat.


Square B (Fig. 3). Remains of a treading floor (L501; 0.4 × 0.6 m) that was paved with a white mosaic were exposed (Fig. 4). A settling pit (L504; diam. 0.8 m, depth 0.4 m), which had a white tesserae-paved bottom and sides coated with white plaster, was cut in the floor (Fig. 5). Two circular basins (Loci 516, 517) to the east of the vat were also paved with white mosaic and probably used for filtering the must. The collecting vat (L514; depth 1.2 m), which had a white mosaic-paved bottom, was partly discovered in the eastern part of the square; part of it was beyond the limits of the excavation area. The treading floor sloped to the east, toward the basins and the collecting vat. The remains of two stone walls (W100, W101), which were founded on bedrock and may have delineated the winepress, were exposed. Rock-hewn notches (Loci 512, 513, 515) that were probably the remains of quarrying activity, as well as a rock-cut cupmark, were exposed in this square.
