Translation of the text on the sign:

Screw extruder base in the winepress
The use of a screw press in winepresses was mainly common in the Byzantine period (4th-7th centuries AD) in Israel and its surroundings.
Evidence for the existence of this press is a stone base with a fixing hole for a screw that is usually located in the center of the treading floor.
