AB This paper discusses two largely undisturbed burial caves excavated in 1992 located in the modern settlement of Kefar Shemaryahu, the site usually considered to be Apollonia/Sozousa's main Late Roman- and Byzantine-period necropolis. One of these burial caves may illustrate a change in the religious identity of the population burying the deceased from Samaritans to Christians during the 6th century CE based on the burial goods found and the geo-political realia in the region at the time.
