Abstract
To walk in Jerusalem is to learn the essence of archaeology. Any new structure must displace not just the old, but the archaic, for there is only a finite space that can be occupied by humans. The building stones of the biblical era are the pathstones of today; shards of our shared history are venerated in shrines at our museums or hawked by vendors in the marketplace. The evolution of a culture is vertical, the new built upon the rubble of the old, which itself was built on the rubble of that which died before, its predecessor. In such a world, one searches to learn the past, to learn from the past, to retrieve or recapture from the past.
