Summary: | Where are the harbour structures of the thriving Hellenistic and Roman city of Dor?

This evidence includes two previously unknown new harbour installations: a very large maritime structure, tentatively identified as a Roman quay (in the North Bay), and a Hellenistic coastal fortification system protecting an anchorage (in the South Bay). |
