The International Wadi Farasa Project

The International Wadi Farasa Project (IWFP) focuses on one of the most fascinating tomb complexes of ancient Petra, the capital of the Nabataeans in southern Jordan. The project is directed by Professor Stephan G. Schmid (University of Montpelier III) who is a founding HSNES member. From 2001, the HSNES has supported the project, which is sponsored by the Association for the Understanding of Ancient Cultures (Basel) and the Palestine Exploration Fund (London).
