Jabal Moussa: Archaeology and heritage in the Lebanese mountains
2 December 2020
A projecting western spur of Mount Lebanon adjacent to the Ibrahim or Adonis river, the Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve possesses a rich natural and cultural heritage.â¯Given its relative inaccessibility and difficult terrain, what is perhaps most remarkable is the long continuity of human adaptation and occupation of this mountain landscape.â¯
This talk presents the results of an ongoing collaborative project (2018-onwards) between the Association for the Protection of Jabal Moussa (APJM), a Lebanese non-governmental and non-profit organisation, and a team of landscape archaeologists, who have come together to explore the archaeology and heritage of this region, from prehistory to the present day.
The discussions will cover some of the main archaeological findings from the past few years of survey and highlight the ways in which these stories and narratives can be integrated with ongoing conservation, heritage protection and promotion efforts in Lebanon.
