A Burial Cave from the Early Roman Period on Diskin Street, Jerusalem (with a contribution by Ronny Reich) (Hebrew, pp. 93–103; English summary, pp. 71*–72*)

A rock-hewn, kokhim-type burial cave was exposed on Diskin Street, Jerusalem. It yielded a few potsherds, including a knife-pared lamp, dating to the Early Roman period. Ten ossuaries made of soft limestone were found; two of them are inscribed with names in Greek and in Hebrew, alluding to the Jewish origin of the interred. This cave fits well within the presently known boundaries of the ancient cemetery of Jerusalem during the first century CE.
