The site dates back some 2,000 years.
Palestinian workers in the Gaza Strip have found dozens of ancient graves, including two sarcophagi made of lead.
Now, what was once an inconspicuous construction site – surrounded by non-descript blocks of flats – has become a gold mine for archeologists looking to understand more about the Gaza Strip. “All of these tombs have almost already been excavated and have revealed a huge amount of information about the cultural material and also about the state of health of the population and the pathologies from which this population may have suffered,” said Mr Elter, the head of archaeology for Intiqal, a programme managed by the French non-profit organisation Premiere Urgence Internationale.
Alongside the sarcophagi, Mr Elter’s team is restoring unearthed skeletons and piecing together shards of clay jars.
