Remains of a Roman-period mausoleum were exposed, comprising a central room flanked by three
loculi
on each side. A clay coffin was found in one
loculus
, containing a single burial of a 15–25-year-old individual accompanied by an unusual combination of burial goods—oil lamps and glass vessels—that do not align clearly with either Jewish or pagan burial practices.
