Lawler's book shows how archaeology has affected the landscape of a contested city. The detailed narrative is a fun and engaging read but assumes the framing it claims to critique.
Thanks for reading John! As far as I know the car was not reexcavated. As best I can tell, the new IAA dig was adjacent to Kenyon's Area L but did not overlap it.
Great review! Agree about enjoying the sections of the book that were new info to me, and appreciate your critique of his overall emphasis.
Side question - did Kenyon’s car emerge in the recent parking lot project?
