Architectural Elements and a Statue Fragment from the Western Wall Tunnels, Jerusalem
Excavations conducted in 2018–2020 inside and below Rooms 8 and 9 of the Great Causeway in the Western Wall Tunnels uncovered several architectural elements and a fragment of a Roman marble statue, all reused in later construction phases. The stone fragments include a Doric cornice, a pilaster with a simple anta capital and two parapet stones, representing elements from monumental public buildings of Early and Late Roman Jerusalem. Stratigraphic …
The Facade of the Tel Arza Burial Cave
The Tel Arza burial cave is one of the most elaborately decorated burial caves in the Second Temple period necropolis of Jerusalem. Its distylos in antis facade resembles a two-story edifice facade, probably indicating that the tomb was owned by an affluent Jewish family. This paper presents an analysis of the architectural components of the decorated facade, followed by a general discussion and comparative study as a means for providing a relati…
Cenotaph Hill
Rural adaptation and settlement change in the late Islamic Jabal al-Khalīl (Judean Foothills)
This study examines the transformation of rural settlement in the Shephelah region of Ottoman Palestine as a reflection of communal adaptation to changes in the political and security landscapes. Focusing on Khirbet Drūsye (Horvat Midras), we integrate archaeological evidence with Ottoman fiscal surveys and Sharia court registers to trace the site's transition from a prosperous Mamluk-era village to a seasonal habitation ( ʿizbeh ) by the 1550s. …
Conspicuous Construction
This paper discusses the growing trend in Late Hellenistic- and Early Roman-era Judea (ca. 200 b.c.e.–70 c.e.) for constructing “display tombs”—funerary architecture designed to achieve maximum visibility and project the status of the individual or family who financed the construction, not just in the cities, but also in the countryside. It uses the case study of the recently excavated pyramidal tomb marker at Horvat Midras (Israel), an affluent …
Fit for a King
This paper pays close attention to architectural decoration in King Herod's construction projects and offers a renewed perspective on Herod's use of monumental display to situate his own kingdom within the empire. His increased reliance on the Corinthian rather than the Doric order, for example, appears to reflect Augustus's choice of the Corinthian order as representing the new Roman taste. His introduction into local architecture of particularl…
