great info - i'm off to Jerusalem in a few months and will put this on my agenda with my able guide.
If your staying there for awhile and like this kind of stuff, head up to Tel Dan for a day.
It's a tip I got while I was there in '99 and was NOT disappointed.
Along with a Garden-of Eden like park and wildlife refuge, it's got some fantastic digs from the time of King David - old city wall and gate, temple and altar remains............
