Two excavation areas (A, B) were opened c. 50 m apart and field walls were uncovered, some of which were used to enclose agricultural plots and some to divert surface runoff water to prevent it from damaging the plots. A survey undertaken in 2003 in Zor‘a Forest (Nagorsky 2012; Fig. 1: A-3863) identified agricultural installations, rock cuttings and caves. An excavation conducted in 2008 on Tel Zor‘a revealed a winepress (Betzer 2010; Fig. 1: A-5482).
 
Area A (Fig. 2). Three excavation squares were opened and the remains of two walls were uncovered (W101, W104). Wall 101 (length 20 m, width 1 m, preserved height c. 0.5 m; Fig. 3) was built on a northwest–southeast alignment of large stones placed on a layer of brown soil; it was preserved to the height of a single course. Wall 104 (length 16.5 m, width 1 m, height c. 0.5 m) was built on a north–south alignment of large and medium-sized stones and preserved to a height of two courses, the lower of which was placed on a layer of brown soil.
 
Area B (Fig. 4). Three excavation squares were opened, revealing three walls (W201, W204, W207). Wall 201 (length 16 m, width 1.2 m, preserved height 0.4 m; Fig. 5) was built on a northwest–southeast alignment of fieldstones placed on a layer of brown soil (L202); it was preserved to the height of a single course. Wall 204 (length 9 m, width 0.7 m, height 0.4 m; Fig. 6) was built on a general north–south alignment of medium-sized fieldstones. A square excavated to the east of the wall (L203) uncovered an accumulation of small stones and brown soil of a lighter color than that of L202 beneath the base of the wall; this layer was also discovered in probes to the west of W204 (L205, L208). Wall 207 (length c. 6 m, width c. 0.7 m, height c. 0.3 m) was built on a northeast–southwest alignment of partially dressed stones and preserved to the height of a single course. The wall was apparently built on a layer of brown soil (L206). The wall and the nearby soil layers was damaged while preparing the ground for tree planting.
