I'm a fan of the late archaeologist Eilat Mazar.  Her grandfather (Benjamin) after the capture of Jerusalem started the "Big Dig" from 1968 to 1978 south of the Temple Mount (Ophel area).  Alongside all the workers was a young girl (his granddaughter) who would take a keen interest in excavating and learning what they found.  Benjamin was a close friend of Herbert W. Armstrong of the Worldwide Church of God as he was a close friend of Israel.  Later on Eilat picked up where her grandfather left off under the wing of the Philadelphia Church of God (an offshoot of HWA's church). Her enthusiasm was bigger than life and her dedication found the location of David's and Solomon's palace, and one of her most famous findings was the bulla of King Hezekiah and possibly that of the prophet Isaiah (she found them in close proximity and dated them the same time frame - the Bible states the closeness of Isaiah with King Hezekiah).  She dug with one hand and held the Bible in another.  While she was not overly religious, she believed in the historical accuracy of the Bible and was often criticized for it, but her work was second to none. One complaint of hers was that the Islamist often dug up near the mount and moved potential artifacts to trash dumps; they were that much against any finds that would support the Jewish/Christian cause. While she could still sift through the rubble to find artifacts that prove the Jewish history, because it was disturbed certain facts such as the time in history was lost, so the evidence was only half there so-to-speak.

I have attached a link to a .pdf file of their magazine "Let the Stones Speak" that tells about the bulla of King Hezekiah and Isaiah.  The Philadelphia Church of God named their free magazine in honor of Eilat Mazar because she would simply say "Let the Stones Speak" as she gathered evidence and left her conclusions based on facts and not political/religious ideology.
