The article presents finds unearthed during the renewed excavations at the Giv>ati Parking Lot in the ‘City of David’, Jerusalem. The finds, which date from the late Iron Age to the Persian and Early Hellenistic periods, testify to the importance of the western slope of the City of David ridge in the city’s urban development. When water was transferred from the Gihon Spring to the Siloam Pool the significance of the rugged eastern slope of the ridge was reduced. As a result, the western slope was adapted for public construction. After the 586 BCE destruction, the city was rebuilt along the summit of the ridge and on the northwestern slope.

关于铁器时代、波斯和早期希腊化时期耶路撒冷位置和性质的新证据

本文介绍了在耶路撒冷“大卫城”的 Giv>ati 停车场重新挖掘期间出土的发现。这些发现可以追溯到铁器时代晚期到波斯和希腊化早期，证明了大卫山脊西坡在城市发展中的重要性。当水从基训泉转移到西罗亚池时，山脊东坡崎岖不平的重要性就降低了。因此，西坡被改建为公共建筑。在公元前 586 年被毁后，这座城市沿着山脊的顶峰和西北坡重建。
