Description<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Kharayeb Archaeological Project<\/strong> is a multi-disciplinary research project investigating an area, north of the Litani River, that is fundamental to our knowledge of the Levant in antiquity. The project combines archaeological, archaeometric, epigraphic and historical research. It consists of different branch: the excavation, study and valorisation of the remains of the Phoenician place of worship known as 'Mathaf' and of the thousands of terracotta figurines from it (since 2015, in collaboration with the CNRS-L for ION Beam analyses); the reconnaissance of the coastal territory of the Kharayeb municipality; the underwater investigations of the coastline connected to it, funded by the Honor Frost Foundation; the excavations of the rural settlement of Jemjim and Tell Qasmie, the tell (a port) at the mouth of the Litani.<\/p>\n<\/div>
