Description:

On a hill situated west of the village, roughly 500 meters from the synagogue, two basalt lids from sarcophagi were inadvertently uncovered during ditching by a tractor. No associated sarcophagus chests were found. Based on their characteristics, the lids are attributed to the same artisan or workshop. For further details, see: Gregg, Robert C., and D. Urman. 1996.
