ABSTRACT The following article summarizes our current knowledge of the history of Tell Mulabbis (in modern Petah Tikva). As a key archaeological site in the Yarkon River basin, it was inhabited during the Roman, Byzantine, Early Islamic, Crusader, Mamluk and Late Ottoman periods. Based on the published results of recent excavations, older scholarship, and hereto-unnoticed written evidence, the article examines and interprets Mulabbis's material culture within the broader contexts of the region's historical geography. Although possessing important advantages like access to water and arable land, the site was inhabited only intermittently due to malaria and changing economic and political circumstances. Within the framework of Ottoman Archaeology, the article suggests the need to pay closer attention to ‘recent’ archaeological layers. For example, the few Ottoman material remains published so far, testify to continued cultural exchange and economic ties between Mulabbis, the mountainous interior, and the southern parts of Palestine.

穆拉比斯的简短历史（以色列佩塔提克瓦）

摘要 以下文章总结了我们目前对 Tell Mulabbis 历史的了解（在现代 Petah Tikva）。作为雅孔河流域的重要考古遗址，它在罗马、拜占庭、伊斯兰早期、十字军、马穆鲁克和奥斯曼晚期都有人居住。基于最近的发掘结果、较早的学术研究和迄今为止未被注意到的书面证据，本文在该地区历史地理的更广泛背景下检查和解释了穆拉比斯的物质文化。尽管拥有水源和耕地等重要优势，但由于疟疾和不断变化的经济和政治环境，该地点仅间歇性有人居住。在奥斯曼考古学的框架内，文章建议需要密切关注“最近的”考古层。
