Kathleen Kenyon was the next archaeologist after Garstang to excavate in Jericho. She excavated in Jericho from 1952-1958. She used improved methods of stratigraphy developed in the late 1940's and early 1950's. She found many details which would seem to conform to the Biblical account of the conquest of Jericho. She believed the city had been sieged. The city was strongly fortified as was Jericho in the Biblical account (Joshua 2:5, 7, 15; 6:5, 20).
