Abstract

An Early Bronze IVB tomb was discovered by the MOTA-DACH on June 2009 in the city of
Bethlehem, nearby the Milk Grotto. Its architectural features, burials and associated funerary
equipment are here considered and compared with those of other Early Bronze IV cemeteries and
necropoleis of Southern Levant to grasp the historical-archaeological meaning of this discovery.
