MOSHAV ALUMA, Israel (AP) — Israeli archeologists say they have uncovered the remnants of a 1,500-year-old church dating back to the Byzantine era.
The Israel Antiquities Authority says the site was found during typical excavation work that took place before a planned construction of a new neighborhood in southern Israel. Among the finds were a colorful mosaic and five inscriptions that attest to a once-vibrant Christian community in the region.
