Lufrani, Riccardo: The Saint-Etienne Compound Hypogea, Jerusalem

Geological, architectural and archaeological characteristics. A comparative study and dating. In the frame of the improved knowledge of the broad and adjacent archaeological contexts since the last study of the Saint-Étienne Compound Hypogea, between 2011 and 2014 Riccardo Lufrani carried out a detailed survey of the two burial caves, providing new and more detailed photographic, topographic, archaeological and geological documentation. The systematic comparison of the significant architectural features of the Saint-Étienne Compound Hypogea with a consistent sample of 22 tombs in the region suggest dating the hewing of the two hypogea to the Early Hellenistic period, shedding a new light on the history of Jerusalem. 308 Seiten mit 217 überwiegend farbigen Abb., Großformat, Leinen (Novum Testamentum et Orbis Antiquus.
