CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ok, the article doesn't give too precise indications, but as it says: "only a fraction of the settlement has been excavated".
I particularly noted the following:
But it is “perfectly reasonable” that Jews continued to live around Jerusalem after the temple's destruction, said Daniel Schwartz, also a historian at Hebrew University. The Jews just would have had to pay higher taxes and do road work, farming or other labor for the Romans, he said. It is possible they operated two public bath houses for Roman soldiers that were found at the site, he said.
It's worth remembering that the 10th legion was stationed in Jerusalem, and this settlement might have been established to serve the legion without being allowed to exist within the perimeter of the city itself.

Hello:
With each "new" find, the press wishes to report the find, even if they don't know what it is. The archaeologists may wish to get the word out to fund their digs.
I guess my point is, it is too early to tell much about this one. It may take a long time to reach conclusions that have consensus.
Thanks,
CovenantRay
