Description
Work at Megiddo in 2018 shed light on Gate 3165 of Stratum VIA
(late Iron I) and the six-chambered Gate 2156 of Strata VA-IVB
and IVA (late Iron IIA and early Iron IIB). The disputed question of
the number of gates which post-date Gate 2156 was only briefly
discussed. Continued investigation of the gates’ area in 2022
assembled information for the existence of a four-chambered
Gate 500b, described by the University of Chicago excavator as a
construction error, which was replaced by the two-chambered
Gate 500a. The new data is presented here.
