Since its foundation in 1890, the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem has always been interested in the rich archaeology of Gaza.
Since 7 October 2023, the name of the enclave has been associated with suffering, violence, and war. While attention focuses on the humanitarian emergency, the EBAF, in collaboration with its partners, continues to care for the heritage. A heritage that is not only made of shards, stones, or mosaics, but, above all, of the appropriation by today’s men and women of the roots that are theirs. A backward glance that, through the diversity of civilisations, histories, techniques, and peoples, helps build the transmission of knowledge to future generations.
Discover this human adventure in Gaza, under the direction of René Elter, archaeologist and research associate at the EBAF for over 20 years.
