Stable

We are in the subterranean stable dated to the third or the second century BCE and was not used until the first century CE, until the destruction of the settlement in the end of the Second Temple Period. We have six stables here, mangers, where the animals, probably donkeys, ate and were fed. Below the mangers, we uncovered two urine pits where the urine of the animals were collected and used as a fertilizer for the field. On the other side there is another room where another at least six or seven animals, donkeys as well, could be held, with a trough for water.
