Umm el-Umdan, an archaeological site in central Judea generally identified with ancient Modiin (Modi'im), the birthplace of the Maccabees. Remains from the Hasmonean period (second–first century B.C.E.), including a probable assembly house, have been uncovered there, attesting to the presence of the family of Mattathias before the Maccabean uprising.
