Articles include:

• More Temple Mount Antiquities Destroyed:  What was supposed to be the opening of an emergency exit to a mosque on the Temple Mount has ballooned into a major construction project - and an archaeological disaster.
• The Missing Millennium:  Some scholars claim that Jerusalem hardly merits the title of city before the eighth century B.C.  But the evidence to prove them wrong is there - if you know how to evaluate it.
• 2,700-Year-Old Tower Found?:  Excavators last year discovered an eighth-century B.C. wall around Jerusalem - the second such feature from that time.  Now they have uncovered more of the wall and an offset in it.  Have they found the corner of a tower?
• Sacrilegious Neglect:  An ancient ritual bath in the City of David cries out for upkeep.
• Restore the Roman Temple at Kedesh:  Exquisite architectural elements lie scattered at this lovely site in Israel's north, making it a top candidate for restoration.
• The Sepphoris Synagogue Mosaic:  This grand city in Galilee already boasts scores of beautiful mosaics, and a recently excavated synagogue only adds to the trove.  But at its centre lies a big surprise.
