This article rejects David Ussishkin’s interpretation of the Rock-cut ‘Pool’ in the City of David, Jerusalem, as an abandoned quarry. This feature, better described as a space than a pool or quarry is, actually, a separate system from the northeastern corner, which in the past was referred to as the Round Chamber. Contra to my initial understanding of these two features, I now suggest that they each belong to a different period. The Round Chamber, ca. 4.5 m deeper than the bottom of the Rock-cut Space, has a narrow shaft that rose to the surface of the water; it is the remnant of a Middle Bronze water system. The Rock-cut Space dates to the Iron II.

关于基本泉附近的岩石切割“空间”的笔记

本文拒绝大卫·乌西什金将耶路撒冷大卫市的岩石切割“池”解释为废弃的采石场。这个特征，比游泳池或采石场更好地描述为一个空间，实际上是一个与东北角分开的系统，过去被称为圆形房间。与我最初对这两个特征的理解相反，我现在建议它们各自属于不同的时期。圆厅，约。比碎石空间底部深 4.5 m，有一个狭窄的竖井上升到水面；它是中青铜水系统的残余。Rock-cut Space 可以追溯到 Iron II。
