The Umm el-Jimal Archaeology Project gratefully dedicates this web site to the hundreds of researchers, laborers, students, town residents, and others who have lent their considerable expertise, time, and sweat to make the project successful. Deserving special notice are Shiekh Sheikh Hail es-Serour and his family, who extended generous hospitality, displayed a serious interest in and contributed to the research, and always assured good relations between the project and the people of the village. See the
Staff page for individual recognition by field season.
