Summary
Nineveh. Halzi Gate excavation. A crowd gathers to watch the excavation of the passageway at the Halzi Gate. The tops of the orthostats which lined the original passageway are visible at right. The brickwork to each side of the excavator was part of the defensive "narrowing" construction from the final period of the great city. Photo by Fredarch.
