Excavations at Rajeb exposed three rock-cut family tombs on the southern slope of a hill east of the so-called Cave of the Seven Sleepers.[2] Each tomb has a central chamber with surrounding burial niches and, in one case, a rock-cut pit that may have held reburied remains. Benches, sarcophagus spaces and blocked doorways show the tombs were carefully planned and reused by a local group over time.[2]
The associated finds include several types of lamps (among them Herodian lamps), pottery vessels, glass, bronze ornaments, coins (among them issues of Philip the Arab) and other small metal pieces.[2] Based mainly on pottery and coins, the use of these tombs is placed between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD, with at least two main phases in one of them.[2]
