Description

This volume is the second in a series of final reports presenting the results of the excavations conducted in the Givati Parking Lot, located on the eastern slope of the Tyropoeon Valley in Jerusalem. The site covers an area of c. 0.5 hectares, making it one of the largest excavations in the City of David. This second volume is comprised of three parts, and presents the remains of the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods. The exposure of Byzantine and Early Islamic remains over an extensive area has enabled a reassessment of the nature of the transition between these two periods, and has shed light on numerous aspects of settlement patterns and city planning in both periods, as well as the question of the city’s southern limits in the Early Islamic period. The current Part 2 is devoted to the stratigraphy and finds of the Early Islamic period.
