An Enormous Quarry Dating to the Second Temple Period was Exposed in the Ramat Shlomo Quarter of Jerusalem

Details

















Tools used by the quarrymen and a 2,000 year old key were also uncovered at the site. The huge stones that were quarried there were presumably used in the construction of the city’s magnificent public buildings

 Archeologist will be available for interviews and photographs at the site of the quarry today (Wednesday) from 12–2:30 PM. Please email us at dovrut@israntique.org.il to confirm your arrival and receive directions to the site.
