Since early May, our colleague Chloé Girardi has been part of the Dadan archaeological project’s spring mission to study several skeletons discovered in 2023.

The site of Dadan, located in the oasis of Al’Ula (Saudi Arabia), is excavated by a Franco-Saudi team led by Jérôme Rohmer (CNRS, UMR 8167, Orient Méditerranée) and Abdulrahman Alsuhaibani (King Saud University, Royal Commission for Al Ula).

This year, our colleague Sammy Ben Makhad is working on the archaeological mission at Dougga (Thugga, Tunisia), a site inscribed on the World Heritage List. This Franco-Tunisian programme (CNRS-ENS and INP) is under the direction of Véronique Brouquier- Reddé (CNRS-ENS-PSL – AOROC) and Samir Aounallah (Institut National du Patrimoine de Tunisie), with the support of the Institut français de Tunisie.

After four weeks of field and office research, the 2024 excavation campaign of the Mission Archéologique Française de Bactriane Protohistorique (MAFBAP), in the Sukhan Darya region of hashtag#Uzbekistan, is nearing completion. This mission is led by Shapulat Shajdullaev (University of Termez) and Johanna Lhuillier (CNRS, UMR 5133 Archéorient).
