A very interesting archeology artifact is The Magdala stone which is a carved stone block unearthed by archaeologists in the Migdal Synagogue in Israel, dating to before the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70. It is notable for detailed carvings depicting the Second Temple, carvings made while that Temple still stood.
The stone is also notable for having the earliest known images of the Temple Menorah. The stone features an arch supported by a pair of pillars and a seven-branched menorah. The stone stood in the center of the Migdal Synagogue and was probably used as a reading desk for the scripture scrolls. When Jesus read the Scriptures in Nazareth he might have used a similar stone to put the scrolls on. Magdala was a fishing town at the time of the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE and the home community of Mary Magdalene. Its use is still under debate, but we found similar limestone blocks with grooves at the ends used to put Torah scrolls on while reading.
