Abstract
The article is dedicated to the primary results of salvage excavations, performed by the authors during the last eight years on Givati plot, in the close proximity to the historical nucleus of ancient Jerusalem, known as the “City of David”. The large area occupied by Givati excavations, its massive cultural layer, the monumentality of the well stratifi ed architectural complexes revealed, dated to the wide chronological range, from the Early Islamic (8th−9th centuries AD) to the Iron Age II (9th century BC) and their good preservation state are unique for salvage archaeological practice in Israel.
