It concentrates on finds outside the walls of the Iron Age city, of which the most important are the enigmatic deposits in Caves I and II on the south-east hill. Itzhak Eshel's study provides a thorough comparative analysis of the large quantity of pottery found in them, as a basis for establishing their date and purpose. Supplementary studies of the pottery and other material from these caves, not least variations between the deposits found in them, throw further light on their function. Among the varied information on extramural cemeteries assembled here, the late third millennium cemetery on the Mount of Olives, first discovered over a century ago, particularly adds to our knowledge of Jerusalem in antiquity.
