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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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
