A month ago, I noted an excavation in the northern Hinnom Valley of Jerusalem that was investigated and photographed by Tom Powers. The architecture was partly obscured in those photographs by tarps.
Reader Roi Brit passed the area a few days ago and noted that the excavation appears to have stopped and the tarps have been removed. Craig Dunning has sent some photographs he took this morning.
