Umm el-Jimal Project - Website (مشروع أم الجمال)

The website of the Umm el-Jimal collaborative project showcases the activities of the project and provides resources for the understanding of the site, both its ancient development and the contemporary life at the settlement. Excavations seasons from the 1972 are summarised, and the 'archive' section contains publications, images, GIS, and 3D modelling. The project relational database is hosted on the ETANA platform. The museum section contains a virtual tour of the site and an online exhibition of the artefacts.
