50 cave pearls containing pottery are the first in the world to contain man-made objects.

They are round, pearl-like formations usually between 0.1 mm and 30cm long.

Pottery fragments were found to contain cobalt-coated pottery, which had been observed in Cyprus and Ephesus .

The ST continued to be used throughout the Roman and Byzantine periods before it was abandoned.

It was also around this time that the first cave pearls likely began to form.

The only evidence of more recent visitation is the installation of a clay pipe through the tunnel, laid down in the 20th century .
