International Wadi Farasa Project (IWFP), Jordanien

The Wadi Farasa East with the main complex of the Roman Soldier Tomb and related installations was created probably during the 1st century AD and is the result of a very well organised city planning by the Nabataean authorities.  A complete study, including cleaning, excavation and documentation of the Wadi Farasa East is still outstanding. Therefore, the International Wadi Farasa Project (IWFP) will focus during the first four seasons on cleaning, excavation and documentation of the courtyard of the Roman Soldier Tomb complex, as well as of the related installations such as the „Garden Temple“ and the huge cistern that fed the water supply system of the complex.
