Located at Mount Hotzvim in Jerusalem, a large quarry has been
under excavation, exposing more information on the Second
Temple time period when Jesus walked the Holy Land.

Archaeologists with the Israel Antiquities Authority excavated
the area that covers about 3,500 square meters, forming part
of a large field of quarries, according to a press release from
the Israel Antiquities Authority.

They have uncovered dozens of building stones of various
sizes, different paths and tools.

A stone tool identified with the Jewish population in the
Second Temple was discovered in the quarry located in Jerusalem.
