When was Jericho discovered?

Answer 1

A:Like many ancient cities, Jericho had been built up in layers one on top of each other, with the most recent occupation on top of the resulting mound, or tell. The first excavations of the site were made by Charles Warren in 1868. Several other digs took place over the years, and extensive investigations using more modern techniques were made by Kathleen Kenyon between 1952 and 1958. She di not discover the Jericho of the biblical Joshua because the site had been abandoned at that time.
