Recogites in south-west Jerusalem are a group of concessions located in south-west Jerusalem, from an olive house in the north and in the city of gardens and Holocaust Hill in the south. The nickname "registers" is a nickname given by Dr. Ruth Amiran to a group of stone and dust steeps created by a man with no skeletons (as opposed to the complaint in which there are several layers of rusty settlements buried on this side). Similar hangings were also discovered in Cyprus.

In southwest Jerusalem there were 19 renunciations (about half removed), and they were separated during the 1950s by Ruth Amiran. The rainfall ranges from 10 to 42 meters, and heights between 3 and 9 meters.

History of History
The groves were first studied in 1923 by William Foxwell Olavright, who committed a cut in the Gram No. 2 (now at the heart of a Holocaust Hill neighborhood) which he described to the 10th century BCE, according to the fragments of the pottery found.

In 1953, a thorough excavation was held under the guidance of Dr. Ruth Amiran and the funding of the Ministry of Labor. In the excavation, the entire plant was removed from one of the dead in the neighborhood of the Menachem, the findings of the seventh century BC (the period of the Kingdom of Judah). At the bottom of their killing, a 17-year-old structure was discovered and a pit with the remains of a fire.

In a rescue excavation conducted by Dr. Gabriel Barbay in Brahm No. 4, findings were found appropriate for the 8th century BC, including seals relating to its strengthening.

The purpose of the killings
There are several main explanations for the deaths:
According to the explanation proposed by Dr. Amir, the killings are burial sites from the Tomuli type, in the Hebrew Rum.
According to the findings that indicate the burning of animals and food vessels found in the lungs, it is possible that it is a stage of worship. There was a belief that it was a stage for a foreign work that was accepted in Jerusalem during the days of Menash, but Yehuda Al-Mana claimed that it was a stage for God’s work, as a substitute for the Temple in which a foreign work took place during the days of Menashah.
Another possible explanation is that these are the remains of the rites of fire, mentioned in the books of the days and Jeremiah.
They were drowned, before the cumbersome excavation, whose deaths were memorials to the invaders who fell in the war in a ghost valley.
