Title The facade of the Tel Arza burial cave : architectural style and a comparative study.
Host Item Atiqot 106 (2022) 177–186
Description The Tel Arza burial cave is one of the most elaborately decorated burial caves in the Second Temple period necropolis of Jerusalem. Its distylos in antis facade resembles a two-story edifice facade, probably indicating that the tomb was owned by an affluent Jewish family. This paper presents an analysis of the architectural components of the decorated facade, followed by a general discussion and comparative study as a means for providing a relative dating for the burial cave.
