14201 Khirbet el-Messani; Khirbet el-Maṣani; Khirbet al-Meṣani; Ḥorvat Miṣna NEW ST. ZACHARIA (?) New Saint Zacharia Monastic Basilical Jerusalem (Greater Jerusalem) Jerusalem Palaestina I Yes Yes 2 Colonnade Internal apses second apse on the s apsidal U shaped no remains Depression in the floor Inside the apse Hemispherical Yes Against the apse grades One-step synthronon cut in the bedrock (0.38 m high and 0.45 m deep). The remains of the balustrades at both ends also preserved (northern one to a height of 0.55 m). The wall of the apse above the synthronon and the synthronn bench are covered by plaster. The spring-course of the semi-dome protrudes about 1 m above the synthronon bench. N Masonry built. Seemingly open, forming the end of the southern aisle; partially preserved. The northern apse, hewn in the bedrock, held in its floor a baptismal font with a narrow gutter and stairs ascending down from south and north. Inside the apse under altar, elsewhere A T-shaped depression in the center of the apse held the sub-altar reliquary. Two fragments of a limestone reliquary box were found in it. See also infra, under Burial loci. Baptismal font with a narrow gutter was rock-cut in the floor of the northern apse. There is a hole in the wall of the northern apse, which, most probably served as a tube for filling the font with water from an upper cistern. Monolithic rectangular rectangular 1b above n aisle Six depression near the eastern rock wall enclosing the complex on the north (beyond the northern aisle) supported roofing beams. A gallery was seemingly set above, running also above the northern aisle. The existence of such a gallery is suggested by the rock-cut room still preserved above the northern apse. For reasons of symmetry, a gallery seemingly existed also above the non-extant southern aisle. Three tombs were found under the mosaic floor of the bema. Tomb 1, at the NW corner, held four arcosolia. In the eastern one bones of four males and two females were uncovered. The northern arcosolium held bones of a male and of a female. A funnel-like vessel was found above the western arcosolium. Tomb 2, in the center of the bema, held a single trough with bones of a male and female. In addition, the bones of at least two more males and a female were uncovered there. Tomb 3 was rock-cut in the southern part of the bema. The rectangular burial pit was covered by a stone plate decorated on its underside by a cross surrounded by a circle, in relief. A square perforation at the end of one of the cross hands enabled pouring of oil in, or insertion of a metal rod to reach contact with the bones. The tomb held a skeleton with iron rings wrapping his members - neck (4), arms (12-14) and legs (ca. 10). Several square plates or disks were set around his hips. The estimated age is 30-50. A metal cross and wooden pieces of a box that seemingly held few articles belonging to this ascetic monk , including a tiny gold pendant, metal articles, one of them decorated with a bird. Numerous iron nails were also uncovered therein, and 4 coins of the 4th-5th c. Another tomb, 1.7x1/0x0.9 m in dimensions, hidden behind vertical plates, was cut near the western end of the northern wall of the main apse. Few human bones of an individual elder than 16 were uncovered therein. A small burial cave was revealed to the north of the church. It comprised a square chamber (3x3.3 m) with two arcosolia (each 0.5 x 1.2 m) in the northern wall. ST 1

795 Jerusalem (Kidron Valley) Tomb of the Virgin Mary / Assumption Memorial Circular Jerusalem Mount of Olives Jerusalem Palaestina I + Cruciform in shape and entirely rock-cut. The total W-E length is 32.50m. The present layout, with a staircase in the southern arm of the cross, is from the time of the Crusaders. Presumably the crypt was entered from this side also in Byzantine times, through a shorter staircase. The Eastern and Western arms of the cross (5.98m wide), end in an apse. The western apse is 5.36m in diameter and 2.80m deep. The eastern arm, where Mary's tomb is located, is longer. An opening of a cistern is located near the cord of the Western arm. The tomb, monolithic (2.85x2.6m, 1.75m high), was detached by rock-cutting from the surrounding bedrock. It was part of a Second-Temple period cemetery. Remains of one of them is to be seen in the northern side of the eastern arm, somewhat elevated above its floor. Memorial, commemorating Mary's burial and assumption. The shape and layout of the original concentric church is unknown. A staircase leads down to the cruciform crypt from the south. Mary's tomb is located in the eastern arm of the cross.

Three stairs in the north seem to have led to the galleries. While the church was still in use, three tombs were built under the floors. One of them was installed in the southern wing of the atrium and covered with stone slabs. In one of them a hole was pierced, probably, for the pouring of liquid. Badly preserved skeletons were found in the tomb, as well as broken glass vessels. The second tomb was installed under the floor of the northern part of the narthex; it was also covered with the slabs. It contained burial goods: broken glass vessels, a silver cross, metal jewelry as well as human bones. When the narthex was rebuilt and covered with a mosaic floor, the tomb was also covered with it. The third tomb was located in the northern room of the church. The tomb was found with the cover, but inside it jars of different sizes and human bones were found. Most probably, it served in a secondary used as a small storage place after the church went out of use. ST 1
