Adams' work in Tel Megiddo has been extensively covered in the press in relation to Christian eschatological interest in Armageddon.[12][13][14][15] His discoveries at the site of the Roman military camp at Legio has attracted public attention,[16][17] including the uncovering of a legionary burial.[18][19]
