OXFORD, England (AP) - Dame

She was 72.
Her death was announced by St.
Hugh's College, Oxford University.
Dame Kathleen was principal of St.

Her excavations in 1952 showed Jericho
to be the oldest town in the world, ex-
posing remains from before 7000 B.C.

ua, in 1400 B.C.
In 1962, she became director of the
Joint United Kingdom-Canadian archae-
ological expedition in search of the lost
cities of Jerusalem. It lasted seven years
and unearthed artifacts Dame Kathleen
considered the work of King Solomon.
Dame Kathleen was the daughter of
Sir Frederic Kenyon, a biblical and clas-within week
sical scholar who was chief librarian
and director of the British Museum
from 1909 until 1930.
She became interested in archaeology
while at Somerford College, Oxford
University, when she joined the British
Association's 1929 expedition to South-
ern Rhodesia.
She then worked with Sir Mortimer
Wheeler in his important dig at St. Al-
bans, England, uncovering the Roman
town of Verulamium.
She became a trustee of the British
Museum in 1965, and was made a Dame
Commander of the Order of the British
Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973.
Her many books and articles included
several volumes on Palestine, including
"Digging Up Jerusalem'.,
