Jerusalem Quarry: Photos
ABC has some photos of the quarry, or you can watch a two-minute video with relatively poor footage of the site (and two guys who can't correctly pronounce the object of the discovery). BiblePlaces.com has some exclusive photos of the quarry area, with thanks to Aubrey Laughlin for sharing them with us. Click on each photo for a higher-resolution version, which you are free to use for personal and educational purposes.
