Abstract
In 1952, a trial excavation was conducted in Tiberias (map ref. 2500/7440), following the discovery of tombs during the digging a channel for pipelines by workers of Tiberias municipal water department (beginning in the middle of the Aliyah Street in the west). The excavation, on behalf of the Department of Antiquities and Museums, was directed by B. Ravni. Eight tombs, of which four were fully examined, were exposed in the channel (0.5 × 107 m, max. depth 0.5 m). The excavator noted that the tombs are of the type found north of the Department of Health building (permit no. &-29/1951), which are dated to the end of the Byzantine period – beginning of the Early Islamic period.
