The settlement of Jerusalem's western hill and the City's status in iron age II revisited
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The accumulation of new data from recent excavations and surveys, both within and outside Jerusalem, and especially the publication of the first two volumes of the final report of the Jewish Quarter excavations (Avigad/Geva 2000; Geva [ed.] 2003), call for a new evalua tion of Iron Age Jerusalem. Geva, who is publishing the Jewish Quarter excavations, has recently offered a thought provoking synthesis (below). Triggered by Geva's interpretations, along with the accumulation of the new data, it is the aim of the present paper to reanalyze the urban fabric and demographic composition of Jerusalem, and especially its Western Hill, during Iron Age II. The first part of the paper will, in light of the above, reexamine Geva's suggestions. The second part of the paper will discuss additional evidence for Jerusalem's status, mainly from finds discovered outside the city walls. The third part will reconstruct the 8th century city, including social aspects, settlement, and urban processes. The fourth part will discuss the chronology of these settlement processes, and the fifth part will reexamine the demography of Jerusalem at its height.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
