After a week's break between the
3rd & 4th week of the season, week 4 was a continuation of excavating
outside the city gate to get a good view of the courtyard leading up to
the 10th century city gate. Good progress was made while
uncovering a mud brick floor that was eventually taken out to expose the
layers underneath. Carl Savage arrived & started digging with a small team behind the city gate south of the Roman temple. Walls & floors were uncovered as well as very nice destruction layers. A quite nice piece of Megarian ware (see at bottom left) from the Hellenistic - Roman period was found by Elie Haupt & Howard Aaronson. The volunteers, in a silly mood, named it "Herod's tongue".
