Jerusalem: Temple Mount, Cotton Market Gate (photo:DAP/IAA)
The Bab
el Kattunin, or Gate of the Cotton Market, shown in this 1940s photo
by the former British archaelogical unit, the Palestine Department
of Antiquities (DAP), is located on the west side of the Temple
Mount. The gate leads out directly to the Suk el Katunnin or
traditional
Cotton Bazaar, built in the Mamluk period in 1337-8.
The photos from the 1919-1948 collection of the Palestine Dept. of Antiquities (DAP) are now stored at the Scientific Archive at the Israel Antiquities Institute (www.iaa-archives.org).
