JERUSALEM — A splendid synagogue, dating back to Mishnaic and Talmudic times, was discovered recently in Katsrin, in the Golan Heights, near a site being preserved by the antiquities and museums department of the Israeli ministry of education and culture.
The synagogue gate and walls were discovered during a routine restoration operation under supervision of the department's Dan Orman.
Katsrin is about five miles east of the Benot Yakov bridge. Ther site was discovered shortly after the Six-Day-War by a teani from-the Israel archaeological society, who found remnants of a settlement which dated back to Mishnaic
and Talmudic days in the third century.
Among its discoveries, the team unearthed a spectacular public builcting situated near the old synagogue. The building was covered with a heavy deposit of debris.
Additional digs conducted by the army's archaeological staff in the Golan uncovered whole structures with many architectural adornments, all dating back to the same period.
Attached to the public building, they discovered a mezuzah (ritual scroll) on which a bas-reUef der picted ai meiiorah (candelabrum) and a peacock. This discovery verified the researchers' theories that a synagogue had stood on the site.
With the beginning .of the work of preservation, the synagogue it^ self was uncovered, with all its walls in good condition. The syn^ agogue has one entrance from the north, tiirough a mohumentai gate carved with characteristic ornaments.
The structure is built north-south, like most synagogues of its period in Northern Israel. To the inner walls is attached a-bench^ on which worshipers sat during prayer.
Up to this point, most parts of the building have been found, including inscriptions, pillars, pedestals — most of them decor-, ated with bas-reliefs, and a number of pieces bearing engravings of the menorah.

JERUSALEM—A rare Hebrew inscription, dating back to the days ^ of the First Temple, was discovered recently by archaeologists digging in the "Jewish Quarter" of the Old City of Jerusalem, the inscription has not yet been deciphered, since most of the writing is difficult to distinguish, Only a Hebrew name, Michayhu, can be recognized.
The inscription was found on a pottery shard from a pitcher or vessel, unearthed among the ruiiis of a residence. Three lines are written on it in ink; a special photographic process will help experts decipher the entire legend..
The find is of considerable historic significance. It constitutes proof of the existence of a Jewish
settlement in this part of Jerusalem - called "the upper city" -during the days of the First Temple, Until now, some historians have claimed that the Hebrew settlement during that period remained within the borders of the Citadel, the City of David, located at the southern end of the Temple Mount
But Professor Nahman Avigad was of the (pinion that the borders were wider, extending far beyond David's City. He began digging in the Jewish quarter to find corroboration for his assumption. . The^ Professor defined the importance of his discovery by. saying, "To date, tiiis period spoke to us through silent pottery. Now
we have written evidence in our hands."
This is the second Hebrew inscription from First Temple days to be found in Jerusalem. The first was discovered 50 years ago in a dig at the Citadel. This new one was uncovered as part of tilie dig undertaken recently by Professor Avigad*s group/

ififrf eWifence of M Jewish setHmenls
JERUSALEM— The ruins of a' ninth century synagogue at Khir-
bet Sussia, about 20 miles southeast of Hebron, was cited as evidence that Jewish.settlements in the Judaea region continued well after the Mosleni conquest in the seventh century. This and other recent archaeological finds were described at the convention of the Israel Exploration Society held here.
Professor Shmarhyu Guttman said the remnants found at Sussia were part of a once large syn^ agogue that seems to have been used until the ninth century.
Two Hebrew inscriptions were found worked into an elaborate mosaic floor. Both mention the names of the donors.
Prof. Abraham Birun, director of the government's department of antiquities, reported that a number of seven branched oil lamps dating from the 18th century BCE have been unearthed near Beit Shemesh in the Jerusalem foothills.
He said they were believed to
have been used for ritual purposes indicating that the site may have been a Canaanite^sanctuary. Another find was a burial cave dating from the period of the Second Temple.
hraei, Vatican swapping relics
ROME— The Vatican and Israel are negotiating a swap on archaeological relics that will enrich the collections of museums in Israel and Italy, it was learned here.
Sources said the negotiations cameiabout after the Vatican decided to establish a Palestinian branch at its museums iii 1972 and needed objects to illustrate the Biblical ages of the Patriarchs.
In exchange, the Vatican plans to give Israel ancient Etruscan, Roman and Jewish objects found in catacombs near theAppianWay, the sources said.
