Excavations uncover new archaeological findings at es-Suwweida, highlighting the role of lidar and 3D modeling.
In April and May 2022 and during September 2023, the first and second seasons of excavations at es-Suwweida took place (License Nos. G-26/2022; G-65/2023; map ref. 199365–550/718710–870). The es-Suwweida Excavation Project is a joint effort of the Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies, University of Haifa, and the Institute for Archaeological Studies, Ruhr University of Bochum, Germany, funded by the German Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development (GIF; Grant No. I-1552-500.15/2021). The excavation was directed by M. Edrey, with the assistance of T. Sokolski (registration and field photography), M. Runjajić, C. Fineran and H. Arndt (area supervisors), Enso Geospatial company (lidar survey), M. Kahan (plans) and O. Zeevi (3D modeling), Y. Kondo and R. Ushki-Tanami (logistics), the latter three from the Israeli Institute of Archaeology.
