Abstract
From 1973 to 1976, the Mount Zion Archeological Expedition conducted a series of excavations along the western and southern walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, extending some 700 meters (roughly 1/6 of the perimeter) from the southern moat of the Citadel-the so-called David's Tower-to the vicinity of Burj Kabrit. Significant phases in the history of the city's defenses emerged, including part of the Hasmonean wall and the line of Herod's fortifications on the western slope, and a medieval gate-tower on the southern slope.
