Prof. Oded Lipschits of Tel Aviv University, director of the excavations at Ramat Rachel, south of Jerusalem, described the fourth season of digging there as “great from any perspective. I’m very happy and proud of it.”  
Among the many finds this year archaeologists discovered the continuation of the Iron Age citadel at the site originally excavated by Yohanan Aharoni in the 1950’s, the first proof indicating that Ramat Rachel during the last 125 years of the First Temple Period was larger and more important than previously thought.
