The research team of Hellenistic and Roman Archaeology in the Near East has expanded its focus from southern Syria and Jordan to northern Syria and the Arabian Peninsula, including the Saudi Arabian region. The team has conducted archaeological missions in Hégra, Saudi Arabia, and explored the Farasan Islands in the Red Sea. The 'Arabia' component of the team now aligns with the 'Nabatean' theme. Michel Mouton's work in the UAE complements Jean-François Breton's research on Yemen, while Mathilde Gelin's participation in Faïlaka, Kuwait, expands the team's focus on Hellenistic urbanization in the Euphrates region. The team's historical scope begins with Hellenization, but they also study Bronze and Iron Age periods in southern Syria. The Umayyad period is now a focus, with the discovery of a water mill in Bosra. The team is part of the ArScAn UMR, working on the Near East and Arabia, integrating geographical, climatic, historical, social, economic, and cultural aspects. They collaborate with teams in Central Asia and Mediterranean cultures. The team includes CNRS researchers, engineers, professors, and doctoral students, with INRAP archaeologists now permanent members. The team works with institutions in Paris, Lyon, Nice, and other cities, as well as in Germany, Austria, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, the UK, Canada, Italy, Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. They maintain close scientific and logistical links with the French Institute for the Near East. The team's research is based on field missions in Syria, Jordan, and Arabia, focusing on archaeological documentation, knowledge transmission, training young researchers, and publishing their findings.The research team of Hellenistic and Roman Archaeology in the Near East has expanded its focus from southern Syria and Jordan to northern Syria and the Arabian Peninsula, including the Saudi Arabian region.
