Recent discoveries in the Western Wall tunnels

TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH (SUBTERRANEAN EDITION): Recent archeological discoveries at the Western Wall – What lurks beneath the surface. A recent tour of the area with researcher and archeologist Dr. Avi Solomon, revealed some of the most fascinating finds in recent years (Alan Rosenbaum, Jerusalem Post).

What lies beneath the surface is a treasure trove of archeological finds that shed light on Jewish life in Jerusalem from as far back as the time of the First Temple (10th century BCE-586 BCE) that continues to the time of the Second Temple as well.

The Iron-Age four-room house and its epigraphic contents are new to me.
