Walls of Jericho
Clearly Revealed
By Marston Party
ArchaeOlOgists Believe
Ruins Unearthed Built
About 2OOO-16OO BIC.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
JERUSALEM, February 24.-The
excavations of an expedition backed by
Sir Charles Marston have clearly eStab-
lished the lines Of the upper part of the
recently discovered wall of Jericho.
The archaeologists believe that the
outer stone wall recently unearthed was
constructed in the middle bronze age,
somewhere between 1000 B. G. and
1000 B. c. According to one scheme
of chronology, the late bronze age was
the period of the Jewish leader Joshua
who fought battle at Jericho.
Jericho, IA miles northeast of Jeru-
salem, was many times destroyed. After
being ruined by Joshua, it was rebuilt
by Ahab, and was later the residence
of Herod the Great The Roman EN-
peror Vespasian destroyed it, and then
Hadrian rebuilt it. It was destroyed
again by the Crusaders.
