Abstract
In June 1997, a salvage excavation was conducted in Lot 69, Neighborhood 9, at Caesarea (Permit No. A-2679/1997; map ref. 18940–9160/70780–1115), prior to construction. A rock-cut burial cave was uncovered in the kurkar ridge east of the ancient city of Caesarea. The cave appears to have been hewn into an earlier quarry. The quarry had been sealed beneath a sand dune, which was removed mechanically.
