Abstract
In June 1958, an excavation was conducted at Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek, following the discovery of a burial cave with loculi during the construction of a road between Mishmar HaEmek and Ein HaShoffet (map ref. 2133/7243). The cave was discovered on the southern slopes of Tel Shosh by the children of Mishmar HaEmek, who removed numerous glass vessels, metal artefacts and lamps that were dated to the Byzantine period. The excavation, on behalf of the Department of Antiquities and Museums, was directed by R. Givon and J. Naveh, with the assistance of Sh. Moskowitz (surveying) and a member of Mishmar HaEmek (photography).
