A team of Israeli and American archaeologists say they're digging deeper into the past of a historic Christian basilica, in today's northern Israel, offering theories as to how its structure changed over the years.
Last week, a team of Israeli and American archaeologists revealed additional pieces of the church's mosaics – purportedly uncovered for the first time in 1,500 years.
"We identified a large apse in the east and uncovered two inscriptions," said Prof. Mordechai Aviam of Kinneret College. "Only a small section of the first one survived, which mentions a deacon and a building project. The larger second one is a half medallion which mentions the bishop and the reconstruction of the building."
