ʿAin Joweizeh is the longest rock-cut subterranean spring system in Israel. It is located in the central section of the Nahal Refa'im Valley, in the heart of an area abundant with springs and cultivable terraced land that served as part of Jerusalem's agricultural hinterland for extended periods of time, starting in the Middle Bronze Age. The authors describe the different components of the spring system and discuss related technological aspects. In the framework of a survey of the site an architectural element bearing a Proto-Aeolic motif was ‘rediscovered’. A comparative study of the item's characteristics and its location suggest that ʿAin Joweizeh served as a royal Judahite water system, established sometime during the Iron IIB–C. The finds shed light on the phenomenon of spring flow tunnels in the Jerusalem Hills.

ʿAin Joweizeh：位于耶路撒冷附近的 Naḥal Refa'im 山谷的铁器时代皇家岩石切割弹簧系统1

ʿAin Joweizeh 是以色列最长的岩石切割地下弹簧系统。它位于 Nahal Refa'im 山谷的中心部分，该地区拥有丰富的泉水和可耕种的梯田，从青铜时代中期开始，该地区长期以来一直是耶路撒冷农业腹地的一部分。作者描述了弹簧系统的不同组件并讨论了相关的技术方面。在对场地进行调查的框架内，“重新发现”了带有原始风神主题的建筑元素。对该物品的特征及其位置的比较研究表明，ʿAin Joweizeh 是一个皇家犹大水系，建立于铁 IIB-C 时期。这些发现揭示了耶路撒冷山中泉流隧道的现象。
