Large Stone Structure, Archaeological site in City of David, Jerusalem, Israel
The Large Stone Structure contains walls measuring up to seven meters in thickness and connects with the adjacent Stepped Stone Structure in Jerusalem.
Discovered in 2005 by archaeologist Eilat Mazar, the structure contains artifacts dating from the tenth century BCE through the early ninth century BCE.
Excavations revealed Phoenician ivory inlays and pottery that demonstrate the advanced lifestyle and trade connections of ancient Jerusalem inhabitants.
The excavation site remains partially inaccessible due to modern residential buildings constructed above sections of the ancient structure.
Two clay seals found at the site bear names mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah: Jehucal and Gedaliah, connecting archaeology with biblical texts.
