David Ussishkin, “King Solomon’s Palace and Building 1723 in Megiddo,” Israel Exploration Journal 16 (1966), p. 174. Israel Finkelstein, co-excavator of Megiddo with Ussishkin, has arrived at a different conclusion; he proposes a new chronology for early Iron Age II sites in Palestine that would date Building 1723 to the time of the ninth-century B.C.E. Omride dynasty (“The Archaeology of the United Monarchy: An Alternative View,” Levant xxviii, 1996).

In his study entitled The Proto-Aeolic Capitals and Israelite Ashlar Masonry (Qedem 11[1979], p. 10), Shiloh wrote, “The design of the outline and the lines of the relief of this capital are the finest of all the Proto-Aeolic capitals in this country.”
