Important archaeological finds were made in the excavations carried on at the plateau known as the Napoleonic Mount, located between Tel Aviv and Petach Tikvah.
The excavators found the city wall gate and vessels of different periods, mainly of the Abrahamitic period.
The Napoleonic Mount, which was acquired in June by Isaac Goldberg, was a military center during the World War. Its name is derived from the circumstance that it played an important part in the Egyptian expedition of Napoleon in 1799. In ancient times a settlement existed there and it was for remains of this settlement that the excavators began their search.
