Tomb K2 of the Jericho excavations is an Early Bronze Age IA (3500 - 3200 BCE) tomb excavated by the British School of Archaeology Expedition directed by Dame Kathleen Kenyon in 1955.
K2 was cut into the limestone rock alongside of one of the wadis leading down from the Judean hills to Jericho. In use over several hundred years the multiple burials are from a time when Jericho was a village or small town centered on the prolific spring, Ein es-Sultan.
While impossible to say with certainty at this time the shared tomb may have been used by an extended family or clan from the town or surrounding areas. The tomb is typical of the age.
The many pottery artifacts put into the tomb with the burials were possibly filled with offerings of food and drink or represented the everyday articles used by the deceased. Some artifacts, such as maceheads indicated the status of the person with whom they were buried.
