The 6000 year-old tomb of a nobleman found in a cave in the Judean Desert sheds new light on burial customs of the Chalcolithic period, exposing aspects of life that were hitherto unknown.  The very act of burial in a remote cave on a high cliff must have required a special effort.  Its elaborate garments and shroud surely suggest that the deceased held an elevated status.  Paperback.  48 pages.  Illustrated in colour.  Text in English and Hebrew.  Good clean condition.  Cat No 3269
