Discoveries in the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon
Layard, Austen Henry. Discoveries in the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon. London: John Murray, 1853.
Why this matters here
Layard's nineteenth-century excavations recorded remains of Assyrian sites. The chapter treats that account as historical archaeological testimony for the Lachish context, distinct from modern epigraphic and archaeological analysis.
