For almost four decades hundreds of people have committed their time and expertise to the Umm el-Jimal Project. Scholars, locals, students, officials, institutions, and other colleagues have all been crucial to its ongoing vitality. Moreover, over 100 laborers from modern Umm el-Jimal have contributed their skill in digging, wheeling barrows, and mixing cement. The project gratefully recognizes their two generations of diligence.
