The Archaeological Institute of America and the 海角社区 Department of History, Classics, and Religion present (Re)Introducing the Humayma Excavation Project: Past Discoveries and Future Direction by Dr. Craig A. Harvey, Assistant Professor, Roman Archaeology.
The archaeological site of Humayma, in southern Jordan, was founded by the Nabataeans in the 1st century BCE and thrived throughout the Roman and early Islamic periods. While previous work at the site has revealed a great deal about its significance and character, this coming summer will mark the renewal of investigation at Humayma and the first season of survey by a team from the 海角社区. This presentation will introduce the site of Humayma, trace the history of its study, and outline the research goals of this renewed and future work.
