ABSTRACT
[[p. 2]] The Autumn campaign of 1912 threw much further light upon the arrangement of the South Gate of Beth-shemesh. The progress in discovery will be at once clear if we compare the Plan of the gate as it is shown after the excavations of 1911, in Annual I, Plate XIV [[Fig. 2.1; see also Fig. 2.2]], with that of Annual II, Plate III [[Fig. 2.3; see Figs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4]]. Still more striking appears the difference to the eye if we compare the picture of Annual II, Pl. XV [[Fig. 2.5]] with that of our Plate [Fund Series [[Fig. 2.6]]] showing the gateway on the completion of the excavation in December, 1912.
