	VirtueOnline - Theology, Research ... - Shards of evidence: Palace of King David Found
		It is here that Mazar - the 48-year-old widowed mother of four and granddaughter of renowned archeologist Professor Benjamin Mazar - began excavating in February, in a dig sponsored by the conservative Jerusalem think tank, the Shalem Center, where she is a senior fellow, together with the academic support of the Hebrew University.
		Mazar's team did not find any construction predating the 11th century BC at the site, leading her to exclude the possibility that the building served as a Jebusite citadel, such as the Fortress of Zion that David captured from the Jebusites, as recounted in Samuel II 5:7.
		Mazar, who plans on continuing the dig in the months ahead in an expanded area nearby the site after first studying her finds in her laboratory, is pretty sure that she has hit gold.
