Two unique Byzantine coin weights were recovered and recently identified by the Temple Mount Sifting Project from soil removed without archaeological supervision from Jerusalem’s Temple Mount in 1999. The first of the very rare four κερατίον denomination is made of glass.
The impression of a known imperial stamp into it suggests that it was probably manufactured in Byzantine Constantinople and came to Jerusalem before the Muslim conquest. The second, made of brass, bears a hitherto unknown kappa delta denomination marking; it is also of the four
κερατίον denomination. The characteristics and significance of these finds are discussed here.

In the course of sifting earth removed from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, dozens of clay sealings from the First Temple period were recovered. Among them was a sealing bearing the name of the priestly family of Immer. In-depth study of the writing on the sealing, as well as the fabric imprint on its reverse, indicated with a high probability that this sealing was used in the Temple treasury. The article reviews the function and use of sealings in the administration of ancient Near Eastern treasuries and the significance of sealings with a textile imprint on their reverse. The study revealed similar patterns in the finds near the "Royal Building" exposed in the Ophel excavations, and we therefore suggest identifying it with Judah's royal treasury.
