Dauphin, 1998, p. 790 writes:

Fondements. Bains du début époque arabe fouillés en 1972, construits sur une église byzantine ayant deux phases de construction. Dans la Phase 1, antérieure au IV" s., pavement de mosaïque aux motifs géométriques et floraux et croix. Dans Phase Il, pavement de mosaïque de la nef réparée de grosses tesselles blanches et bas-côtés pavés de dalles de pierre. Deux sources, une au N, l'autre à l'O. Meule de pierre. Pressoirs à raisin creusés dans roc. Four de potier (?): déchets de céramique. Grottes funéraires découpées dans roc avec arcosolia. Accès par des marches. Certaines grottes contiennent des sarcophages. Entailles dans roc. Céramique byzantine.

And the sources she gives are:

French-speakers to the rescue! (The SWP II is alreadry in the article: that is Conder and Kitchener), Cheers, Huldra (talk) 18:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Huldra: I don't qualify as such, but voila, an attempt - "[?]" where I'm not sure:
Foundations. Baths from the beginning of the Islamic period excavated in 1972, built atop a Byzantine church which shows two construction phases.
During Phase 1, before the 4th century, [represented by a] mosaic floor with geometrical and floral patterns as well as crosses.
During Phase 2, the nave's mosaic floor [was] repaired using large white tesserae and [?] the lower parts [were] paved with stone tiles.
Two springs, one to the north, the other one to the west. Millstone [?]. Wine press carved into the bedrock. Pottery kiln (?)[their question mark, not mine!]: pottery sherds [or production waste?]. Rock-cut burial caves with arcosolium-type recesses, accessed via steps. Some caves contain sarcophagi. Notches cut into the rock. Byzantine pottery.

Thanks! Huldra (talk) 21:49, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Don't mention. I tried to access the Dauphin link, but page 710 was not on view today. Do you have a hard copy? Or maybe another link? Cheers, ArmindenArminden (talk) 22:19, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I have "a computer" version...It is 43.6 MB, which I believe is too much to send via email? Huldra (talk) 22:42, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much for offering, but yes, it's too large... I thought more of indicating a working address inside the article. What you set in here at the top for translation (pasted? typed?) does not indicate the date for most of the listed findings (the foundations, millstone, wine press, tombs, notches) and I hoped that the context would for instance show that, since she writes about "La Palestine byzantine", they are all from the C4-7. Can you confirm that? Just use Google translate, it might well suffice. Also, "antérieure au IV" s." probably means "antérieure au 4ème siècle", but cannot possibly mean the church was "pre-4th century" because this would be pre-Byzantine, from the time of anti-Christian persecution, and would make the Bardala church a world sensation. It probably means "early in the C4", but that's only a guess; my French is very limited. Maybe if you could post here a slightly larger context, if need be send it to Nishidani, we could figure that out and include the info in the article. For now, I had to leave it out. The Pal. brochure with its "coffers" and "graves" from "different civilizations" is not quotable.

The Pal. brochure's history part is so bad, you can hardly make out what they wrote; the author obviously understood nothing of what he was copying there, just dropped in bits of info in bad English. Why nobody edits these publications, I cannot fully understand. There are well educated people in Pal., in Eur. orgs. sponsoring them, in Isr. (Arabs, Jews, whatever). Also, the tendency to mix local lore (village named after "ancient" amir named "Bardaweel") with archaeology is even worse than the widespread Jewish Israeli confusion between (Hebrew) Bible and science; at least the HB is a truly ancient written source with limited historicity. "Ancient" in Eng. is anything from Neanderthals to Napoleon... Rambling again, but it's frustrating. Living in a mythological world where "ancient" starts yesterday and is as true and present as one's name, address and bank account, is legitimate in traditional societies the world over, but not in modern publications, WP included...

I´m not sure I understand what you mean by "indicating a working address inside the article"...it is Dauphin, p. 790. (And yes, it is this place, given as gridnumbers: 1955.1993.)
I have often seen Dauphin basically list what Guerin has listed of "antiquities"....and that is a bit "dated", to say the least. Because my non-existent French, I often just list the reference/page-number, (=Not alway easy to find!) and a short description like "Ceramics from the Byzantine era have been found here". I´m not sure what you mean by "The Pal. brochures"? Huldra (talk) 20:46, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Brochure = Bardala Village Profile by Applied Research Institute - Jerusalem. By "working address" I mean online link, the one indicated now [1] leads to a VERY limited access gate, where the searchword "Bardala" leads to zero hits; this type of "Google books" page is never very useful, at least I hope that they do change which pages one can access from time to time. Now it's only ca. 350-520, so 790 is way out of reach. But if you have the book in digital form, unless it is in PDF format with the text scanned in "picture" mode, you should be able to copy parts of it, open Google Translate [2], choose "French" and get a very approximate translation. Guerin could probably have given the right period for the burial caves, and that would do, we could put it in. I don't expect the caves to be accessible, or even to still exist if they were anywhere close to the village centre, but Bardala doesn't seem to be on the tourist map of Palestine anyway, judging by it not being mentioned as such in the Bradt guide or anywhere online. The Khader shrine sounds interesting, I only wish they had indicated some date or a picture... That's what I mean with the brochure being quasi-useless in regard to history & archaeology and tourism (not their main concern, I know). ArmindenArminden (talk) 07:54, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ah yes, the ARIJ- sources. Al Ameer son & I both agree, that on history they are terrible. Basically they follow what "old men" of the village said about the history. I have seen countless examples of their village history saying that it was "populated first time in the 18th century"...or something like that, ....and then it is mentioned in the 1596-tax records (!). The ARIJ- sources are great for *present* situation, but *if* we are to use them for older history, we should always qualify by "according to" etc. I see present sentence "Bardala's history dates back to 1500 BCE" (sourced to ARIJ) was put into the article in 2008; I think we have improved our sourcing since then.
As for the Dauphin-google-link not being very useful; yes and no. If you notice; I will only link to the google-book in the "Bibliography"-section (and *not* in the article, that is, I would (in the article-text) link to "Dauphin, 1998, p. 710". This is the same as I do for Hütteroth and Abdulfattah-references: this indicate that there is no preview. I *still* think it is ok to link it in the biblio-section, as that link has info, like isbn-number, publisher, etc.
I haven´t found *this* place in Guerin (it might be there; I´m not finished with User:Huldra/Guerin)
Obviously, on older history of these places we should primarily go with sources which are based on *proper excavations* (like the one mentioned by Zero, below.) Huldra (talk) 20:25, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
The basilica is mentioned in this article. It says, inter alia, "Excavated by Z. Yeivin and E. Damati on behalf of the Military Administration of Judea and Samaria in 1972." ... "Two building stages were discovered by the excavators: Stage a: the southern stylobate was uncovered and columns stood upon it in situ; also, remains of a mosaic floor. Stage b: A portion of the nave and the aisles were uncovered. The south aisle and part of the north aisle are floored with stone slabs. The nave is floored with a mosaic of crude white tesserae. A bath-house was later built above the western part of the church." ... "In Stage a: remains of a mosaic floor ornamented with crosses within a round frame, as well as stylized flowers. In Stage b: In the nave there are parts of a white mosaic." ... "Stage a: Probably from the fourth century, on the basis of the crosses decorating the mosaic. In our opinion, before 427."

Huldra, I didn't say the Dauphine source is wrong in any way; I said it's not available online, so nobody who doesn't own a hard copy (and who does?) can expand on what's written in there. I was curious if the rock-cut tombs with arcosolia are Byzantine, this might clarify that ARIJ sentence about "coffers and graves from different civilisations". Also, there might be some reference to pre-Byzantine findings, if there are any. ArmindenArminden (talk) 21:02, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

No reference to the village's Hebrew origins?

at least 3 sources in the Talmud talk about the jewish village of bardala. the byzantine findings support the pre-existing talmudic village. 

So why not mention it?

Palestinian villagers from Bardala are barred from accessing 2,500 dunams of land they own, as it is located north of the Israeli separation barrier.[1]

Throughout the years, Israeli Civil Administration has systematically destroyed water infrastructure in the village, a common fate imposed by the Israeli occupation on Palestinians in the Jordan Valley and Area C.[2][3][4][5] Around 90% of Bardala's land was declared as Area C due to the Oslo Accords, where permits for Palestinian construction are mostly rejected. In the period 2009-2018, the Israeli Civil Administration refused 98% of construction permit applications by Palestinians in Area C.[6]

Natural water springs utilized by the Palestinian farmers for irrigation of agricultural land have also been blocked. In several occasions, the destruction of water pipes in Bardala by the Israeli Civil Administration has completely cut off the village's drinking water supply for days.[7][8]

2010

In April 2010, the Israeli Civil Administration cut off the main water supply of the village, threatening thousands of dunams of agricultural land.[8]

2012

On November 7th, Israeli forces confiscated two 3m³ water tanks, demolished a tent house and 2 cattle barns north of Bardala in the Umm al-Riyah area.[9]

2017

In January, the Israeli Civil Administration ordered the demolition of two water pipelines (5.2km in total) that irrigated 410 dunams of agricultural land.[10]

On April 27th, four Israeli bulldozers punctured the main water network that supplied the whole village with drinking water, leaving the villagers without drinking water for days.[11]

On May 4th, Israeli soldiers returned to the village to confiscate the pipelines that had been destroyed the previous week. IDF soldiers then proceeded to fire tear gas canisters and sound bombs at people who had gathered nearby to protest the destruction of their water network. Five people were injured, two due to tear gas inhalation.[12] Israeli soldiers also arrested two citizens of Bardala, Aziz Sawafta and Mahmoud Sawafta.[13]

On May 16th, Israeli forces and Israeli Civil Administration bulldozers destroyed a water well in the village.[14]

On July 3rd, the IDF invaded the village and destroyed 110m of water pipelines that irrigated 120 dunams of land owned by two members of the Sawafta family.[15]

2018

On May 7th, the IDF, accompanied by an officer of the Israeli Civil Administration, entered the village and started distributing military orders notifying the demolition of agricultural structures that had been built two years ago. In addition, a groundwater spring was also blocked. The total damage inflicted by the demolitions was estimated at 79,000 NIS, or 25,000 USD.[16]

On July 4th, Israeli soldiers seized 150m of water pipelines that were not yet at use and filled with dirt 3 wells that provided 1000 dunams of agricultural land with water.[17]

A week later, on July 12th, the IDF reentered the village and confiscated the pipelines that were used to extract the groundwater from the same wells.[18]

On September 17th, Bardala was raided again and the IDF destroyed 1500m of metal and plastic pipelines that served 180 dunams of cultivated land.[19] Israeli forces also forcefully closed several water openings.[20]

2019

On February 4th, Israeli soldiers, accompanied by an officer of the Israeli Civil Administration's unit of Government Property, destroyed between 450 and 500 olive trees in Bardala after declaring it Israeli state-owned land.[21] At the same time, Israeli forces also razed 4 dunams of agricultural land cultivated with chickpeas.[22][23]

On July 3rd, Israeli soldiers, accompanied by a water officer of the Israeli Civil Administration, punctured 60m of water pipelines that irrigated 120 dunams of land.[24]

On July 29th, Israeli police officers and members of Israeli national water company Mekorot raided Bardala and confiscated a truck with excavation equipment after some residents had tried to dig a well.[25]

On August 18th, an EU-funded 1000m³ water reservoir, built in 2016, was destroyed in the Sahel Qa'oun area by the Israeli Civil Administration, affecting 85 Palestinian families.[26]

On September 19th, the IDF entered the village and sealed wells that provided drinking water.[27]

2020

On February 4th, IDF forces destroyed pipelines that were used for irrigation.[28]

On June 11th, a 200m water pipeline was destroyed after it was run over by Israeli tanks during military exercises in the on the outskirts of Bardala. Israeli forces then destroyed and confiscated vegetable stands on Bardala village land.[29][30][31]

On June 24th, Israeli soldiers raided the village to escort a bulldozer from the Israeli Civil Administration while it uprooted and destroyed 70 to 84 olive trees.[32][33]

On July 10th, Israeli bulldozers, escorted by the IDF, started digging on the western flanks of the village, claiming to search for "random" underground water springs to cover. While doing this, the bulldozers destroyed the water network that supplied irrigation water for 45 dunams of land.[34] This was done during the same period that the Israeli Civil Administration reduced the water quote for Bardala.[34]

2021

On June 2nd, Israeli forces notified the confiscation of an agricultural pond for water collection in the Marah Nimer on the outskirts of Bardala.[35][36]

On June 8th, IDF forces, along with an inspector for the Israeli Civil Administration, raided the village and demolished 2 water reservoirs with a total capacity of 350m³.[37] The water tanks provided irrigation for 140 dunams of land, and had been scheduled for demolition since the previous May 31st under Israeli Military Order 1797[38], which allows the destruction of Palestinian infrastructure in Area C.[39]

On July 12th, early in the morning, the Israeli Civil Administration, escorted by the IDF, demolished a 250m³ water reservoir that irrigated 74 dunams of land. It had been scheduled for demolition since May 31st, under Israeli Military Order 1797.[40] The water reservoir had been provided by a joint project between the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.[41]

On August 16th, two bulldozers from the Israeli Civil Administration, along with an IDF escort, destroyed around 100 olive trees in Bardala.[42]

Well, yes I could. And I may well get round to using it. But technically, I shouldn't (as opposed to can't). Longterm editors in this area try to stick by very strict rules, applying them to everyone, 'pro-Israeli' or 'pro-Palestinian' or otherwise (one can be strongly sympathetic to the Palestinian tragedy without being, as the former term implies, 'anti-Israeli), The specific point is that, had I just elided then readded your text under my handle, that would technically look like WP:Meatpuppetry, though of course it wouldn't have been.
We work slowly here to ensure text sticks for accuracy and reliability and I and others will have to examine your contribution, and then see what can be done. Festina lente is solid working practice here. We'll get to it. I myself prefer to hear from others who will have bookmarked the page, before tinkering. Don't worry. Your work won't be wasted or ignored. You just need a little patience. Cheers Nishidani (talk) 22:20, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
No, I think you can, so long as you take responsibility for its accuracy. nableezy - 22:22, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
I think we need a synthetic source to simply the future edit on this. Evidently these details are important, but for encyclopedic purposes we have to keep WP:Due in mind. If anyone can come up with an overview that covers most, if not all of these incidents, I for one would make the paraphrase synthesizing the continued violence of expropriation, infrastructural wreckage and dispossession.
