Abstract

The archeological site of Machpelah Temple (Cave of the Patriarchs), Israel, was studied. At the moment, the first stage of investigations is finished: it included the study of a certain part inside the temple proper. New high-frequency impulse sounding hardware was applied, and its depth and spatial resolution of physical inhomogeneities exceeded the capabilities of existing electromagnetic prospecting methods by an order of magnitude.
