Crowded alleys where pedestrians and beasts of burden clashed were already a problem in 1890, when the Turkish municipal authorities banned camels from the Old City. Those large animals—and organic polluters—were allowed to “park” just outside the Citadel, and the goods they carried were transferred to the backs of small donkeys. To this day most goods are brought into the Old City by donkeys.

Archaeologists were aware of their responsibilities from the very first days of the war. In The Battle for Jerusalem (New York: Popular Library, 1974), then General Motta Gur describes his astonishment when three civilians showed up early one morning at the brigade command, just as the troops were approaching the Rockefeller Museum. They were archaeologists Nahman Avigad, Joseph Aviram and Avraham Biran, concerned with the safety of the ancient artifacts at the museum. The three were allowed to accompany the soldiers into battle.
