EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable defences of Jericho during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A period, dating back to approximately 1930-6. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the extensive excavation work conducted by renowned archaeologist John Garstang at Jericho, Israel. Garstang's excavations were groundbreaking, as they delved into the very origins of Neolithic settlement in Jericho. The photograph depicts a group of men diligently digging and exploring the ancient ruins that lay beneath Tell es Sultan, uncovering remnants of walls and buildings from centuries past. The image offers a glimpse into a time long gone, where construction techniques differed greatly from our modern methods. It is fascinating to observe these skilled archaeologists meticulously unearthing history layer by layer. The significance of this archaeological site cannot be overstated; it sheds light on how early civilizations defended themselves against potential threats. The remains discovered here provide valuable insights into the lives and culture of those who once inhabited this ancient city. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and expertise required for such an arduous undertaking. This snapshot serves as a testament to both human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our collective pasts.
