A Sluice Gate in Hezekiah’s (Iron Age II) Aqueduct in Jerusalem
As part of an important and unique engineering project to protect access to the only perennial source of water in Iron Age II Jerusalem, the engineers of the Israelite king Hezekiah (~715 - 686 BCE) excavated a 533-m-long-subterranean water conduit. His reign took place during a time when the Assyrian empire was consolidating its control of Palestine and Syria, and the threat to the city’s only major water supply was acute and immediate. The aque…
The Geochemistry of Intrusive Sediment Sampled from the 1 st Century CE Inscribed Ossuaries of James and the Talpiot Tomb, Jerusalem
In 2002 an ossuary of unknown provenance was revealed to the public during a press conference; it is inscribed “James son of Joseph brother of Jesus”. Because its inscription seems to refer to a member of the Jesus of Nazareth’s family, it is natural to wonder what relationship this ossuary could have to the Talpiot tomb. Discovered in 1980 during construction operations in SE Jerusalem, the tomb contained several ossuaries inscribed with names f…
Petrochemistry of Sediment and Organic Materials Sampled from Ossuaries and Two Nails from the Tomb of the Family of the High Priest Caiaphas, Jerusalem
We have studied the petrochemistry of degraded bones and sediment from the interior of four ossuaries (burial boxes) discovered in what is (arguably) believed to be the 1st century CE family tomb of the high priest Caiaphas (herewith Cft) in Jerusalem. During the course of the 1990 excavation, among other artifacts (e.g., a coin found in a skull) two iron nails were discovered. One of the nails was inside an ossuary, the other on the floor of one…
The Why, How, and When of the Siloam Tunnel Reevaluated
In a recent article in this journal, geologists Amihai Sneh, Ram Weinberger, and Eyal Shalev proposed a new model for the why, how, and when of the Iron Age II Siloam Tunnel in ancient Jerusalem. Here we focus on the how of their contribution. Offered without presentation of new data or discussion of recently published evidence, their model is a refinement of ideas introduced since the early 20th century, mostly by scholars who had little geologi…
