Recent Excavations Near Jerusalem A section of the Cliff of Ophel, near Jerusalem, where the City of David stood, has been bared by recent excava tions and reveals a type of masonry dating back to Hebréw kings mentioned in the Bible. The excavations were made by J. W. Crowfoot, direc tor of the British School of Archeology in Jerusalem, and Dr. F. L. Sukenik of the Hebrew University. It is known as the expedition of the Palestine Exploration fund and is supported by Sir Charles Marton. The Cliff of Ophel, which marks the true beginning of the Tyropoeon Valley, mentioned by Josephus, lies about ten feet east of the modern pathway. In one place, at the northwest end of the present excavation, the natural face of the cliff has been left uncut by men. The old city gate and towers, which were found in 1927, stood on a broad ledge below the cliff and a small section of the old city well has been discovered this season farther south in a similar position. In this section the stones are bonded in a method which is known from other sites to have been characteristic of the period of the Hebrew monarchy and there seems to be no doubt that this wall goes back to one of the kings mentioned in the Bible. This date is corroborated by the large number of potsherds of this period, several hundred in all, found buried in a deep hole in neighboring rocks. Some distance north, a fine cistern was constructed in the space between the cliff and the city wall. The walls of this cistern are built in a wholly different style, the bond used being one which was introduced after the time of the kingdom and persisted into the Greek period. This cistern may, therefore, have been constructed in the time of Nehemiah.— Chicago Jewish Chronicle .
