Abstract
In his article on the Chalcolithic temple at Ein Gedi, David Ussishkin persuasively proposes that the Chalcolithic artifacts discovered at the "Cave of Treasures," located in a cliff a few kilometers away from the temple, originated from this temple. Indeed, the common denominator for all the 442 artifacts from the "Cave of Treasures" is that they are not military weapons or working tools, or even a collection of items from a group of copper traders, but ritual objects used for religious purposes.
