| Summary: | This article describes the findings from a recent excavation in a rock-cut tomb at Naḥal Aviv, where scholars previously suggested a border line between Jewish and pagan (Tyrian) populations. The finds from the tomb indicate two distinct burial phases, dated to the late first–early second century CE and to the fourth–sixth centuries CE. While the second burial phase can be easily ascribed to a Christian community lived in the vicinity of the tomb, its original phase demonstrates a more complex case for ethnic identification of deceased. The article is followed by two appendices, presenting significant finds: a ‘holy rider’ amulet by Nancy Benovitz and an MB scarab by Baruch Brandl. |
