The material remains of mortuary rituals is effective in reconstructing the history of a society, its religious beliefs and its social outlook. Tombs offer ample data on the artistic taste evinced by funerary architecture and the ornamentation of receptacles and objects. Changes in Jewish funerary practices did not alter the plan and architecture of the tombs. Though the funerary rites changed from inhumation in coffins and loculi to secondary burial by collecting bones in ossuaries the artifacts associated with these graves did not modify much and indicate that these were culturally and socially identical people. The study outlines the material preserved in the ancient Jewish cemeteries of the Second Temple period (first century BCE to first century CE) at Jerusalem, Jericho, 'En Gedi, Qumran and some other tomb sites.Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism ;94.Jewish mourning customsTombsPalestineElectronic books.Jewish mourning customs.TombsPalestine.393/.1/089924033Hachlili Rachel878137NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910451258503321Jewish funerary customs, practices and rites in the Second Temple period1960466UNINA
