Basil Hennessy's four seasons of excavation at Ghassul (1967, 1975, 1976/77 and late 1977) revolutionized our understanding of the history of occupation at the site, and succeeded in isolating ten (A-J) discrete phased assemblages.
The signal importance of Hennessy's excavations lay in their demonstration that the Ghassulian culture, long thought to be an intrusive assemblage from elsewhere (Syria or Mesopotamia), was indigenous to the southern Levant, having developed out of the well known Late Neolithic culture documented by Kenyon at Jericho.
Other spectacular discoveries made by Hennessy include a carefully laid out sanctuary complex with in-situ cult vessels (Hennessy Area E), an elaborate polychrome wall painting of a cultic procession (now in the Amman Museum) and a complete flint knapping floor (Hennessy Area A), and a painter's workshop (Hennessy Area E).

In fact, it had been a three-arched gate—a large center-archway; the excavated, smaller side-archway; and another archway that must have balanced it on the other side.
In the 1960s, J. Basil Hennessy of the British School of Archaeology conducted excavations in which he uncovered the entire facade of the eastern gate, as well as the Crusader gate and some earlier remains that he attributed to King Agrippa I (10 B.C.–44 A.D.).
Although the lower part of the staircase had been removed, the stairs appeared to have led originally to the Roman tower that Hennessy had excavated east of the Roman gateway.
