Annette Nagar, director of the excavation for the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), shows an ancient oil lamp unearthed at a site where a road station, dating back 1,500 years and frequented by travellers between Jerusalem and the coastal plain, was exposed, near Beit Nekofa, west of Jerusalem, Israel, June 10, 2015. A statement from the IAA said the Byzantine-period road station that included a church was discovered during a salvage dig conducted while upgrading the highway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
