A systematic program of ar-
chaeological excavations re-
vealed the splendour of the past
in the City of David, at the foot
of the Temple Mount and in the
Jewish Quarter. Important dis-
coveries dating to the Iron Age,
and Hellenistic, Roman, Byzan-
tine, Umayyad, Abbasid, Cru-
sader, Ayyubid, Fatimid, Mame-
luke and Ottoman periods have
provided illustrative material for
a more detailed reconstruction of
the city's history and material
culture.
