From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Market-place
      any place of public resort, and hence a public place or broad
      street (Matt. 11:16; 20:3), as well as a forum or market-place
      proper, where goods were exposed for sale, and where public
      assemblies and trials were held (Acts 16:19; 17:17). This word
      occurs in the Old Testament only in Ezek. 27:13.
     
         In early times markets were held at the gates of cities, where
      commodities were exposed for sale (2 Kings 7:18). In large towns
      the sale of particular articles seems to have been confined to
      certain streets, as we may infer from such expressions as "the
      bakers' street" (Jer. 37:21), and from the circumstance that in
      the time of Josephus the valley between Mounts Zion and Moriah
      was called the Tyropoeon or the "valley of the cheesemakers."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Moresheth-gath
      possession of the wine-press, the birthplace of the prophet
      Micah (1:14), who is called the "Morasthite" (Jer. 26:18). This
      place was probably a suburb of Gath.
