Jason's Tomb, located west of the Old City, was discovered in 1956 in the Rehavia neighborhood of Jerusalem. Based on finds found inside the tomb, it's initial construction is dated to the beginning of the first century BCE and it's use continued until the 1st century CE until it was sealed in 30/31 CE (Rahmani, 1964:99). Based on charcoal drawings and inscriptions, it is presumed to be the the tomb of a previously unknown personage named Jason. (Stern et al, 1993)
