The Trumpeting Place inscription is an inscribed stone from the 1st century CE discovered in 1968 by Benjamin Mazar in his early excavations of the southern wall of the Temple Mount. The stone, showing just two complete words written in the Square Hebrew alphabet, was carved above a wide depression cut into the inner face of the stone. The first word is translated as to the place and the second word of trumpeting or of blasting or of blowing, giving the phrase To the Trumpeting Place. The subsequent words of the inscription are cut off. The third word (...לה), which is incomplete, has been interpreted as either declare or distinguish, giving either: to d[eclare (the Sabbath)] or to d[istinguish (between the sacred and the profane)], where the words in square brackets represent scholarly conjecture.
