Andrew Francis Lawler (born May 25, 1961) is an American journalist and author. He has written for The New York Times[1], National Geographic[2], Science (journal)[3], Archaeology (magazine)[4], and other publications. Lawler investigated the looting the Iraq Museum in Baghdad[5] as well as ancient sites during the American-led 2003 2003 invasion of Iraq. He also reported on cultural heritage destruction in Afghanistan[6] from the Taliban’s 2001 fall from power until their return in 2021.
Lawler has written three books, including The Secret Token: Myth, Obsession, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke. “Mr. Lawler is an intrepid guide to this treacherous territory,” noted The Economist, which called The Secret Token “lively and engaging,”[7] though the Wall Street Journal chided the author for giving a “social justice” spin to the tale[8]. His most recent publication is Under Jerusalem: The Buried History of the World’s Most Contested City[9], which The Washington Post called "a sweeping tale of archaeological exploits and their cultural and political consequences told with a historian’s penchant for detail and a journalist’s flair for narration."[10]
