Endnote 17 - Was the Site of the Jerusalem Temple Originally a Cemetery?

In connection with the finding of the skull of Araunah, it is interesting to note that in one burial cave at the cemetery at Efrat, a skull, placed carefully in a shallow depression in the rock floor and secured in position with small stones was found. This find has not yet been published. See Gonen, “Efrat,” IEJ, 31, 1981, pp. 124–127, plates 22 A, B.
