Fieldwork

  • Initial survery and excavations at Bal'a and the mountain regions of Palmyra.
  • Executive Assistant to Danielle Stordeur at Tell Aswad. Fieldwork has currently stopped at Tell Aswad due to cuts in funding and the current political situation. Frédéric is currently involved in the critically important work of publishing the latest discoveries from this site, where domesticated Emmer wheat was first discovered at c.a. 8800 BCE, likely from a yet undiscovered inter-montane site in the Anti-Lebanon that caused the PPNB "explosion" of human culture in this area.
