Looking forward to this series, especially as this structure may or may not relate to the nature of the Biblical Millo.

Thanks for reading and for your comment. I think the millo will probably warrant its own separate post, since there have been so many proposed locations. I'm interested in tracing how scholars located it in different places in Jerusalem based on their understandings of how the ancient city developed. However, you might be interested to know that Macalister did believe he had found the millo on the top of the Southeastern Hill. So, although he was the first to uncover the Stepped Stone Structure ("Jebusite Ramp"), he did not equate the two. I think that Kenyon was the first to make this connection, but I'll double check in further research.
