The header-and-stretcher construction of the tower is unique to Phoenician masons and represents "state" presence from before the late ninth century BCE (similar construction was noted by Kenyon at Omri's palace in Samaria dating to 880 BCE). The cunieform tablet fragment found near the tower by Eilat Mazar demonstrates the importance of Jerusalem in the Late Bronze Age but is only mentioned briefly in the chronological table at the end of the book. The Pool Tower "turned into a sort of fortified passage leading up to the hill's summit" and Ronny Reich and Eli Shukron stubbornly continue to call it the Pool Tower. Let's call it what it is, a segment of the Water Gate. Another fact not mentioned is that Kenyon's Middle Bronze Age wall, NB, had a cobblestone walkway on top when she first uncovered it. I have learned a lot from this book and appreciate what is included in it but I wonder how so many important things could have been left out.
