Excavations continue at the western end of the Western Wall prayer plaza, and as the work proceeds further into the ground, the more interesting it gets (at least to those of us interested in pre-Byzantine periods). Peter Wong from Hong Kong was at the site this week and sent me a couple of photos.
They show a remarkable level of preservation.
For context, here’s a photo I took a few months ago that shows the excavation (at bottom) in relation to the prayer plaza.
I have not seen anything reported on this excavation recently, but when I do, I’ll make note of it.
