Viggen Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 The secrets of life in Second Temple-era Jerusalem can be found in a trash heap. Two discs made of bone, which apparently served as buttons, are among the objects found in the municipal dump that served Jerusalem at the end of the Second Temple era. These buttons were intended to be not only practical, but decorative as well. In addition the dump has yielded a handful of glass fragments, which testify to the use of prestigious objects. full article at Haaretz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
