Artifacts found include coins minted between 67 and 69 CE, stone vessels indicating adherence to purity laws, glass perfume containers, and an inscribed stone weight linking the house to the Katros family, a priestly family mentioned in the Talmud.

Evidence of destruction by fire includes burnt stones, charred wood, and layers of ash and soot, as well as a young woman's lower arm skeleton and an iron spear.

The museum displays the house's ruins, archaeological finds, and a 25-minute video that reconstructs the life of the priestly family and their experiences during the Great Jewish Revolt and the destruction of the city.

[3] When the Romans stormed the Upper City, they found little resistance: Much of the population was near death from disease and starvation.

Following the 1967 reunification of Jerusalem the Jewish quarter was rebuilt, and extensive archeological excavations were conducted in the area.

The walls of the house, built of stones and cement and covered with a thick white plaster, were preserved to a height of about one meter.

In the beaten-earth floors of the rooms were the sunken bases of round ovens made of brown clay, indicating perhaps that this wing of the house was used as a workshop.

Also found were inkwells, Roman-period oil lamps that were used to light up the house during the evenings, and other household items, the large jugs, bowls and measuring cups, indicating that this was a perfume production workshop.

[citation needed] In the room identified as the kitchen, the forearm bones from the finger tip to the elbow joint of a woman approximately 25 years old were discovered.
