In this paper we present the analysis of archaeobotanical material retrieved by means of flotation from well-secured features during recent excavation work carried out in 2019 and 2020 by the German-Israeli Tell Iẓṭabba Excavation Project in the Seleucid-founded town of Nysa-Scythopolis. Founded under Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175–164 bce) and destroyed by the Hasmonaeans in the later years of John Hyrcanus (in 108/07 bce), the site offers a unique opportunity for observing the dietary habits of its settlers. The large sample size, namely the largest well-secured Seleucid assemblage ever analyzed in the southern Levant, together with its versatile provenance exhibit previously unknown information for the Hellenistic southern Levant vis-à-vis a unique case-study of high resolution systematic archaeobotanical analysis. The botanical assemblage from Tell Iẓṭabba gives a clearer picture of botanical dietary practices in Hellenistic Palestine. By presenting the archaeobotanical data of the published Hellenistic assemblages from the southern Levant, we offer a comprehensive overview of the agrarian resources cultivated and consumed as food at the time and period.

在本文中，我们将对由塞琉古（Seleucid）创建的Nysa-Scythopolis镇中的德国-以色列TellIẓṭabba挖掘项目在2019年和2020年进行的近期挖掘工作中，通过浮选从安全可靠的特征中获取的考古植物材料进行分析。在安条克四世（175-164成立BCE）和毁于Hasmonaeans在晚年约翰·海卡努斯（在108/07 BCE），该站点为观察定居者的饮食习惯提供了独特的机会。较大的样本量，即在黎凡特南部曾经分析过的最大的安全性最强的塞卢西德组合，加上其多方面的来历，相对于高分辨率系统古植物学分析的独特案例研究，展现了以前关于希腊南部黎凡特的未知信息。TellIẓṭabba的植物学组合清晰地展现了希腊化巴勒斯坦的植物饮食习惯。通过展示来自黎凡特南部的已出版的古希腊化组合的古植物学数据，我们对当时和时期作为食物进行耕种和消费的农业资源进行了全面概述。
