Abstract
In 1967, a salvage excavation was conducted in Nazareth (map ref. 22855/73395), following the discovery of a rock–hewn burial cave during preparations for construction on a private plot. The excavation, on behalf of the Department of Antiquities and Museums, was directed by Z. Yeivin. The cave contained four hewn loculi, one of which was breached during the course of the construction work. The excavator assumed that the entrance to the cave was through a shaft that was partly destroyed. The tombs were found plundered, but a number of pottery vessels were found inside them, that were dated to the Middle Bronze Age 1 (see photographs in the excavation file). A metal ring and pottery are listed in the National Treasures Collections.
