While reconstructions of Jesus’ tomb vary, there is agreement that there was an inner burial chamber, rectangular in plan, with a single bench within an arched or flat-roofed niche (arcosolium) on its northern side.184 Later reports of Christian pilgrims suggest that the tomb measured 5 ft square (1.52–1.84 m); the height of the bench was 0.6–0.7 or 1.9–2.2 ft (19–23 or 57–69 cm) above the floor; the bench on which Jesus’ body was placed was ca. 4.9–5.9 ft (1.5–1.8 m) long and 0.6–0.7 ft (19–22 cm)
