Since it was discovered in the 19th century, Wilson’s Arch has been at the heart of discussions about Jerusalem’s urban development. We excavated beneath the arch for three consecutive years and exposed eight strata ranging from the Hasmonean period to Ottoman times. Here we present our results and discuss our finds with particular emphasis on two issues: the date of the arch’s construction and the discovery of a small 2nd century CE theatre-like structure.

威尔逊拱门下的发掘：罗马时期耶路撒冷的新光

自 19 世纪被发现以来，威尔逊拱门一直是有关耶路撒冷城市发展讨论的核心。我们在拱门下连续挖掘了三年，出露了从哈斯蒙时代到奥斯曼时代的八个地层。在这里，我们展示了我们的结果并讨论了我们的发现，特别强调了两个问题：拱门的建造日期和公元 2 世纪小型剧院式结构的发现。
