Yavne-Yam
Yavne-Yam (, also spelled Yavneh-Yam, literally Yavne-Sea) or Minet Rubin ( Arabic, literally Port of Rubin, referring to biblical Reuben) is an archaeological site located on Israel's southern Mediterranean coast, about 15 km south of Tel Aviv. Built on eolianite hills next to a small promontory forming the sole anchorage able to provide shelter to seagoing vessels between Jaffa and the Sinai, Yavne-Yam is notable for its role as the port of ancient Yavne. Excavations carried out by Tel Aviv University since 1992 have revealed continuous habitation from the second millennium BCE up to the Middle Ages.
