MAIN STREET, JERUSLEM. Excavations revealed eight shops hewn from the bedrock at the base of the manmade cliff—seven were identical, but the southernmost one was longer and wider. The original carved entries to two of the shops were partially preserved. At the top of one are the remains of a lintel with a relieving arch above it. Two small streets led east from the eastern cardo toward the Western Wall of the Temple Mount.
