The find, first uncovered by a tractor breaking ground on a highway project 19 miles northwest of Jerusalem, appears to confirm ancient Jewish accounts of the clan, also known as the Hasmoneans, a spokeswoman for the Antiquities Authority said today. "It's a very important find," says TIME science writer Michael Lemonick. "Over and over in the last few years, archaeologists have...
