Rare figurines uncovered at lost biblical city

[FfFfFfFF 58,120]

Ancient artefacts dating back 3,300 years have been unearthed by Macquarie University archaeologists at a long-lost city believed to be linked to King David.
A  rare ‘smiting god’ figurine, a bronze calf figurine, two seals and decorated Canaanite and Philistine pottery from the 12th Century BCE were discovered at Khirbet el-Rai in Israel by a team of 32 Macquarie University students and three high school teachers during a three-week excavation in February.

“When we go on an archaeological excavation, we have high hopes and low expectations but of course it’s wonderful when we make exciting finds,” said Dr Gil Davis, Director of the Ancient Israel Program at Macquarie University.

“We dream of making discoveries that will change our understanding of a significant part of the ancient past.”

For three weeks from 26 January to 13 February 2020, the team worked in the warm winter sun to dig, sift and discard bucket-loads of soil to unearth these artefacts at two different locations on the site.

This is very interesting!

Sadly, after having heard one semester of critical biblical archaeology, I'm always highly suspicious when someone claims to have found a biblical place. There are quite a lot of archaeologists who will always try to make their found "a lost biblical city" to proof the existence of said place. But I am not knowledgeable enough in this field to determine if it's the case here.
