Pleiades

Excavations in the cave sites identified temporary habitation activities stretching from the Chalcolithic period through to the Roman era. From Roman levels come ca. 120 documents that date to the decades preceding the Bar Kochba revolt of A.D. 132. These texts include documents (deeds, contracts, financial documents) and fragments of Biblical texts.
