Abstract

abstract:In 2019, an excavation carried out at the site of Er-Rasm, located ca. 2 km southeast of Tel Ashkelon, revealed evidence of a cemetery of the second to mid-fourth century CE in an area that was built over by a monastic community in the fifth century CE. The finds from the cemetery, a lead coffin decorated with vine scrolls and birds in repeating panels and associated artifacts such as gold threads, are comparable to those unearthed in the same general area in 1926 at Khirbet Khasis, as well as to other lead coffins found in Jerusalem and Ashdod-Yam. In addition, parts of a marble sarcophagus with carved features were discovered at Er-Rasm. These features indicate that the sarcophagus was carved with the scene of the abduction of Persephone, just like the complete example uncovered elsewhere in Ashkelon in 1972.

罗马亚实基伦和洛克菲勒收藏的丧葬文物

2019年，在位于Tel Ashkelon东南约2公里处的Er-Rasm遗址进行的一次挖掘发现了公元5世纪由一个修道院社区建造的公元2世纪至4世纪中期墓地的证据。该墓地的发现是一具铅棺，上面装饰着藤蔓卷轴和重复嵌板上的鸟类，以及金线等相关文物，可与1926年在基尔贝特·卡西斯(Khirbet Khasis)同一地区出土的铅棺以及在耶路撒冷和阿什杜德-亚姆(Ashdod-Yam)发现的其他铅棺相媲美。此外，在errasm还发现了带有雕刻特征的大理石石棺的部分。这些特征表明，石棺上刻着珀尔塞福涅被绑架的场景，就像1972年在亚实基伦其他地方发现的完整石棺一样。

The journal’s geographic range spans three continents and brings together, as no academic periodical has done before, the archaeologies of Greece and the Aegean, Anatolia, the Levant, Cyprus, Egypt and North Africa. As the publication will not be identified with any particular archaeological discipline, the editors invite articles from all varieties of professionals who work on the past cultures of the modern countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Similarly, a broad range of topics are covered, including, but by no means limited to: Excavation and survey field results; Landscape archaeology and GIS; Underwater archaeology; Archaeological sciences and archaeometry; Material culture studies; Ethnoarchaeology; Social archaeology; Conservation and heritage studies; Cultural heritage management; Sustainable tourism development; and New technologies/virtual reality.
