Abstract
A previously documented facade and courtyard of an elaborate burial cave were uncovered in the Tel Arza neighborhood, located in the Second Temple period northern necropolis of Jerusalem. The facade was carved into the dense white meleke limestone. This article presents new details and a reevaluation of the facade’s architectural decorations, offering a more accurate reconstruction.
