The Great Arab Revolt Project, led by Professor Nick Saunders and Dr Neil Faulkner (both at the time attached to Bristol University), was a ten-year modern conflict archaeology investigation in the deserts of southern Jordan. The GARP team explored ruined railway stations, hilltop redoubts, Ottoman army camps, Anglo-Arab camps, and known battle sites. The project, the first of its kind, made a major contribution to understanding the First World War in Arabia and Syria and to providing context for the career of the legendary ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. |
