Kathleen Kenyon's excavations were concentrated on the eastern slope of the City of David, and included a trench extending from the Maccabean Tower, located on the crest of the slope, 48 m downhill in the direction of the Gihon Spring.
During her excavations, Kenyon noted evidence that building down the slope during the Jebusite period (Late bronze Age, around 14th - 13th century B.C.), was made possible by development of a terracing system, including a series of retaining walls built parallel to the slope crest.
On completion of her excavations, Kenyon's trench was refilled by dumping the excavated material, resulting in a localized loose fill extending down the slope.
