If you want a royal palace for Judah, I'll tell you exactly where to
dig: under the Temple Mount. That's where the texts imply that it is -
clearly close to the temple in 2 Kings 11. (Don't forget that
Schliemann followed the clues from Homer, which everyone else presumed
to be fiction, and found a city!) The problem is, you'll have to fight
off a lot of angry adherents of several religions first.

As to the two kingdoms, I'd be happy with archaeological evidence of any
sort for a royal residence which is where one usually finds the richest
finds in the ANE. No palaces, no tombs, no royal inscriptions (but a
hellovalotta locally produced scarabs from all periods down to the Persian
that usually bear designs rather than inscriptions).


Cheers,


Ian
