relations with Israelis/Jews[edit]

From several accounts, she refused to meet with Israeli archaeologists, since apparently acknowledging the existence of Israeli citizens would for her have been tantamount to acknowledging the existence of the state of Israel (unthinkable!). AnonMoos 14:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I have heard such accounts as well from my professors in HUJI. 68.160.208.148 (talk) 03:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

This rumour-mongering is distasteful and has no place even on a talk page. If there is actual evidence, please produce it; only then will there be something worth discussing. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 10:21, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

...What the hell? I have never heard anything like this. She is one of the most revered archaeologists of our area. Best have a damn good source if you are going to make accusations like that. I will consult with my prof about this one and see if I find anything else. This sounds fake though as like I said, she is a highly respected archaeologist and no one would respect her as much if she had such an attitude. TheArchaeologist Say Herro 03:05, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

She was a respected archaeologist, but her main reaction to the outcome of the 6-day war of 1967 seems to have been to refuse to meet or meaningfully cooperate with any Israeli Jews. She was over 60 at the time, of course, and she was seemingly stuck in some pre-WW2 decade, and just couldn't deal with the realities of the post-1967 decade... AnonMoos (talk) 21:57, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

P.S. I think I read it in Biblical Archaeology Review over five years ago, but I really couldn't specify the article; despise me if you must... AnonMoos (talk) 21:59, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, makes sense I guess. What luck, I actually subscribed to BAR's lifetime membership which gives me access to all their old articles (for unrelated reasons). So I can look through them. BAR can be a bit dodgy at times, but every archaeologist in the area is subscribed to and writes in it. =p Oh yes, I am sending negative hate beams your way as I type this or w/e scientologists call those things. =p Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie, AKA TheArchaeologist Say Herro 23:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Collections[edit]

@JonStokl: It would be good to a have a reference for the fact that some of Kenyon's finds are in Manchester. I couldn't find anything about it on their website. This site (not a very reliable source unfortunately) says they are/were there on loan from the Kenyon Institute. – Joe (talk) 15:54, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

@Joe Roe: You are correct that the items do not *belong* to the Manchester Museum. But they're physically there—and that's all I wrote. The audio from last year's Schweich lectures (British Academy) indicate that my claim is correct—listen to the first lecture from 8.30 onwards. I also know that because I have seen the material in Manchester and know the curator, Dr Kay Prag (although I recognise that that knowledge does not help here). In addition to the Schweich lectures I have now traced one of the volumes of the final report of the excavation, and they also agree. Following your advice I will insert the volume (with page reference).

To my knowledge the collection does not actually belong to the Kenyon Institute, but to the Council for British Research in the Levant, which is itself the result of the two British Schools of Archaeology in Jerusalem and in Amman (so the website you found is correct that it once had belonged to the British School of Archaeology in the Levant—before the change of its name to the Kenyon Institute). — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonStokl (talk • contribs) 21:56, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

We just needed a paper reference to that effect. Thanks. the BSAJ/KI and the CBRL are one and the same these days. – Joe (talk) 21:44, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Personal life, later life, death and burial[edit]

Can any folks throw any light on these aspects of Kenyon's life?

I see she died in Wrexham - is she buried hereabouts? I have family in the area and as an archie I would like to pay my respects next time I'm there
