The City of David, more specifically the southeastern hill of first- and second-millennium BCE Jerusalem, has long captivated the imagination of the world. Archaeologists and historians, biblical scholars and clergy, Christians, Muslims, and Jews, and tourists and armchair travelers from every corner of the globe, to say nothing of politicians of all stripes, look to this small stretch of land in awe, amazement, and anticipation.In the City of David, in the ridge leading down from the Temple Mount, hardly a stone has remained unturned. Archaeologists have worked at a dizzying pace digging and analyzing. But while preliminary articles abound, there is a grievous lack of final publications of the excavations—a regrettable limitation on the ability to fully integrate vital and critical results into the archaeological reconstruction of ancient Jerusalem.Excavations of the City of David are conducted under the auspices of the Israel Antiquities Authority. The Authority has now partnered with the Center for the Study of Ancient Jerusalem and its publication arm, the Ancient Jerusalem Publication Series, for the publication of reports that are written and designed for the scholar as well as for the general reader. Excavations in the City of David (APJ 1), is the first volume in this series.

This is the story of the landfill that operated in Jerusalem during the first century CE and served as its garbage dump during the ca. 50-year period that followed Jesus’s crucifixion through to the period that led to the great revolt of the Jews just prior to the city’s destruction.The book presents an extensive investigation of hundreds of thousands of items that were systematically excavated from the thick layers of landfill. It brings together experts who conducted in-depth studies of every sort of material discarded as refuse—ceramic, metal, glass, bone, wood, and more. This research presents an amazing and tantalizing picture of daily life in ancient Jerusalem, and how life was shaped and regulated by strict behavioral rules (halacha). The book also explores why garbage was collected in Jerusalem in so strict a manner and why the landfill operated for only about 50 years. Half a century of garbage from Early Roman–period Jerusalem provides an abundance of new data and new insights into the ideological choices and new religious concepts emerging and developing among those living in Jerusalem at this critical moment. It is an eye-opener for archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, and theologians, as well as for the general reader.

Southern Wall of the Temple Mount and Its Corners

The Temple Mount compound (known in Arabic as the Haram aš-Šarīf), situated on the east side of the Old City of urban Jerusalem, is a majestic and holy site that has been venerated by millions for more than two thousand years. The compound’s interior has been out of bounds to Western archaeologists for over a century, and modern researchers have therefore concentrated their efforts on the massive ancient stone walls that surround it.The third volume in the Ancient Jerusalem Publication series, The Southern Wall of the Temple Mount and Its Corners: Past, Present and Future concentrates on the southern retaining wall of the Herodian Temple Mount in Jerusalem, its two corners, and Robinson’s Arch on the southern edge of the Western Wall. It presents the final reports of three excavations carried out adjacent to the wall and one under Robinson’s Arch. Among the many new interpretations, the excavators present intriguing theories regarding the engineering of an ancient ramp for herding sacrificial animals up to the Temple Mount and a new reading of an Isaiah 66:14 graffito. The volume devotes a large section to conservation projects carried out in order to understand the problems causing the deterioration of the stones in the southern part of the Western Wall and find solutions to protect and preserve them. The volume also presents details of a major ground penetrating radar examination of this stretch of the Western Wall.

Excavations Beneath Wilson’s Arch, Volume 1

Some 170 years have passed since the Swiss doctor Titus Tobler published the first scientific mention of a stone arch built over a large, plastered pool west of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It was the arch that supported the path leading from the Old City market to the Chain Gate, one of the passages to the Temple Mount that, years later, scholars began to refer to as Wilson’s Arch. Early exploration focused on when it had been built, and it soon became clear that it was the last link in the chain of arches that bolstered the path leading to one of the main entrances to the holy compound of the Temple Mount/Haram aš-Šarīf, which for centuries had served as the religious center of the city of Jerusalem.Wilson’s Arch has been one of the most debated architectural elements in Jerusalem’s landscape. Despite its importance for reconstructing the history of Jerusalem and particularly for understanding the entrances onto the Temple Mount, major excavations beneath the arch did not begin until 2015. Beneath Wilson’s Arch tells the story of the arch, of current and past excavations, of its amazing artifacts and subterranean chambers, of its place in the chronicles of Roman Jerusalem and the mysteries hidden in the Walls of the Temple Mount. Now, after years of full-scale scientific excavation, archaeologists Joe Uziel, Tehillah Lieberman and Avi Solomon reveal and analyze what has for so long been hidden in and beneath the ruins of this massive ancient structure.

Excavations in the Tyropoeon Valley 2003 (Givʿati Parking Lot—Area M) marks a significant milestone in the long-standing archaeological investigation of the City of David. The excavations conducted by Eli Shukron in the southern sector of the Givʿati Parking Lot from 2002 through 2003 represent the initial phase of what would evolve into one of the most extensive and continuous archaeological projects undertaken on the southeastern slope of ancient Jerusalem.In 2007, excavations at the Givʿati Parking Lot resumed under the direction of Doron Ben-Ami and Yana Tchekhanovets, gradually expanding from the point at which Shukron concluded his fieldwork to encompass the entirety of the site. This expansion enabled a broader interpretative framework, allowing for a more nuanced reconstruction of the diachronic occupation sequence. Shukron’s excavations were contextualized within a wider archaeological framework, contributing to a more integrated understanding of the site’s historical development. After nearly a decade of productive excavation, the project passed into the hands of a third team, which enhanced both the stratigraphic exposure and the interpretive clarity of key architectural and cultural phases. This series of Givʿati Parking Lot excavations exemplifies the persistent scholarly effort to uncover the history of Jerusalem’s earliest urban core, with each expedition contributing vital data to this continually evolving narrative.Beyond its significant contribution to the historical reconstruction of ancient Jerusalem, this volume also stands as a testament to the archaeologist’s professional responsibility to publish excavation results—a particularly vital endeavor at a site of such archaeological complexity and historical resonance.
