In 1982, in the City of David - the place where Jerusalem began - a chamber was discovered in the vicinity of the royal acropolis, in excavations carried out by renowned archeologist Yigal Shilo, containing more than 50 clay seal impressions (bullae). 

One of the seal impressions contained the name of Gemaryahu son of Shaphan, who served as the royal scribe during the reign of Jehoiakim, King of Judah (r. 609-598 BCE), and contemporary of the Prophet Jeremiah. 

Gemaryahu is mentioned in Jeremiah 36:10, among other references.
