They pinpointed it by mapping out soil types, and very interestingly, the place good for grapes (loose, well drained soil) also had the remains if wine-making equipment. That would make sense in Naboth’s time, when his plot would have been close to or inside city walls, but not at later times when the city no longer existed.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.

They found Naboth’s grape-juice processing facility, eh? Must have dug up some old refrigerators. ;)
