A landmark work in biblical archaeology, Digging Up Jerusalem chronicles Dame Kathleen Kenyon's celebrated excavations in Jerusalem conducted between 1961 and 1967, offering a meticulous account of one of the most significant digs of the twentieth century. Kenyon, widely regarded as one of the greatest field archaeologists of her era, presents her findings with scientific rigour, unearthing evidence that reshapes our understanding of the city's ancient origins and its successive layers of civilisation. The work details the stratigraphy of Jerusalem from the Bronze Age through the Israelite, Babylonian, and Roman periods, drawing on pottery analysis and structural remains to construct a compelling historical narrative. Written with the authority of a pioneering scholar, it remains an indispensable reference for archaeologists, historians, and anyone captivated by the ancient world of the Near East.
