As part of its co-operation with the community, Lime & Stone Co. has taken upon itself to assist in the refurbishment of ”the Tinshemt Ruins’ near the town of Shoham, which was discovered in 1986 in the course of preparations for the planting of trees in the Shoham forest, by the Jewish National Fund.

The archeological site contains the ruins of a Byzantine church of the 5th century A.D., in which the remains of an impressive mosaic artwork were discovered inside the church prayer hall, as well as an olive oil press facility.

The Israel Antiquities Authority, the Shoham Local Council, and the Jewish National Fund, assisted by Lime & Stone’s quarry which donated the raw materials for the project, co-operated in the refurbishment of this important archeological site and in making it an active study site for students.
The site forms a part of the Shoham Park forest, which is the first ‘Community Park’ to be established in Israel.
