millennia-old way of
life in Israel — cave
dwelling — is about to
be lost for 30 Arab families, be-
cause Israeli archeologists
covet the site of their caves for
a dig.
Arab farmers occupy many
of the caves that dot the Heb-
ron Mountains. Some of the
farmers simply are too poor to
afford anything else, and so
live in caves alongside their
animals. But most of the cave
dwellers have permanent vil-
lage housing, and use the caves
during the winter while
shepherding their flocks of
sheep and goats to pasture.
Whether temporary or per-
manent dwellers, they usually
divide the cave into sections on
different levels. In the front is
the mastaba, or sleeping quar-
ters, where the entire family
lies side by side to keep warm.
In the rear, usually separated
by some sort of barrier, are the
animals. Cooking facilities
usually are placed on the lower
level.
For all intents and purposes,
this is how our Jewish
forefathers lived. Four
thousand years later, their de-
scendants may kick 30 Arab
families out of their winter
cave homes in Hirbet Susiya,
south of Hebron.
Their caves are part of one of
the most important archeolog-
ical findings in Judaea and
Samaria. Israeli excavations
there have exposed an entire
Jewish town from the talmudic
period that was unusually well
preserved. The highlight of the
site is the old synagogue that
served the local community
from the Fourth through Ninth
Centuries G.E.
The archeologists and cave
dwellers have been unable to
coexist. The archeologists re-
peatedly have blamed the Arab
shepherds for the disappear-
ance of precious findings.
Moreover, they charged the
farmers with ruining their
cave homes, a digger's
paradise.
Jewish settlers also have
challenged the cave dwellers.
Members of the Gush Emunim
movement, intending to renew
the ancient JeWish settlement,
established Susiya near the ar-
cheological site. Like the ar-
cheologists, they regarded the
cave dwellers as hostile and
pressured the military
authorities to evacuate them.
The Civil Administration,
which is in charge of the area,
last year placed barbed wires
in front of the caves. But the
cave dwellers removed them
and regained possession. This
year the administration de-
clared the area around the ex-
cavation off-limits as an ar-
cheological site. The settlers
rushed to fence off the area and
the army banned the farmers
from entering their caves.
I Their traditional way of life
had become a criminal offense,
and they were in a quandary.
They couldn't return to their
permanent homes, as there
was no pasture there for their
animals. And they couldn't
survive the winter in tents,
like the Bedouin. They found
nearby caves which were unof-
ficially owned by others. It is
local a tradition to respect the
ownership of each cave.
So the farmers rented caves
by the month. "In two weeks
time we must leave our cave,"
said Fatme resignedly as she
hung her laundry to dry out-
side her family's cave. "If they
don't let us return to our own
cave in Hirbet Susiya, we may
A be stuck with no cave at all."
Anthropologist Nissim
Krispel claimed there ought to
be no conflict between the two
groups. He said once the dig is
completed, the site could dou-
ble its attraction for visitors.
