A landmark work in the field of biblical archaeology, Archaeology in the Holy Land presents a comprehensive survey of the ancient Levant from prehistoric times through the Iron Age and beyond. Written by one of the twentieth century's most distinguished field archaeologists, the work chronicles decades of excavation across iconic sites including Jericho, Jerusalem, and Megiddo, drawing on Kenyon's own groundbreaking fieldwork to reconstruct the material culture of the ancient Near East. The narrative is authoritative yet accessible, guiding the reader through successive periods of human settlement with meticulous attention to stratigraphy and artefact analysis. Kenyon argues that a rigorous, evidence-based approach to excavation fundamentally transforms our understanding of the peoples and civilisations described in biblical texts, separating historical fact from tradition with scholarly precision. This seminal volume remains essential reading for students of archaeology, ancient history, and religious studies alike.
