What is recorded here

One chamber, four doors in the same limestone wall. Coleman opened it in 1942 and found a thin layer of ordinary life: iron, bronze, worked bone, worked stone, bird bones, fish shells, charcoal, domesticated animal bones and wild animal bones. The cave did not claim to be grand. It claimed to have been lived in, repeatedly, during the Early Christian period, with fire, food and tools.
