Archaeologists in Israel have discovered new artifacts and carvings from the Cave of Salome, a place of pilgrimage for early Christians who thought that it was the burial place for Salome, the supposed midwife of Jesus.This is the first I can recall hearing of this cave.
For PaleoJudaica posts on Salome, daughter of Herodias, see here and links.
The "Gospel of James" mentioned in the aricle is better known as the Protevangelium of James. The episode about Salome is in chapters 19-20.
