Chalcolithic Copper Objects from Cave VIII/28

Abstract

Cave VIII/281 ('The Cave of the Sandal') is located on the Jericho cliff (Jebel Quruntul), that rises above the Jericho oasis, c. 1 km west of the spring (Eshel and Zissu 1995; 1998:119, Figs. 3, 9a, 9b; 2000). The cave revealed finds from the Chalcolithic period, the Early Bronze Age and the Roman period.
