Abstract
Ten species of edible fruits, cultivated and wild, as well as emmer wheat, barley and horse bean were found in Abi'or Cave, near Jericho. They were dated to the end of the Bar Kochba Revolt against the Romans in 135 CE. The ripening seasons of the fruit ensemble indicate that the rebels occupied the cave in September–October. Balanites aegyptiaca, Cordia sinensis, Salvia Viridis and the pest beetle Coccotrypes dactyliperda are new to the ancient flora and fauna of Israel.
