Archaeologists from the Judean Kings' Trail Project, led by the Israel Antiquities Authority, have excavated a burial cave named Salome Cave in the Lachish Forest of the Judean lowlands, Israel.

        

The cave was used during the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods in accordance with Jewish burial customs. There are several chambers containing rock-hewn kokhim (burial niches) and ossuary’s, with the adaptation of the cave into a Christian chapel in later years.

Salome (right) and the midwife "Emea" (left), bathing the infant Jesus, are standard figures in Orthodox icons of the Nativity of Jesus, here in a 12th-century fresco from Cappadocia. 

The researchers found engravings of crosses and dozens of Greek inscriptions inscribed on the cave walls in dedication to Salome, a follower of Jesus who appears briefly in the canonical gospels and in apocryphal writings.
