Madaba Mondays Episode 2️⃣: Community Archaeology in Jordan's Madaba Region

Madaba Mondays is a biweekly series that explores the cultural heritage of Madaba, Jordan, through a project—funded by ECA's Cultural Antiquities Task Force and Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation—that created a 3D model and virtual tour of some of Madaba's historic sites.

In the second episode of the series, host Paul Fischer of the Cultural Antiquities Task Force speaks with one of the Madaba residents who helped create the project's virtual guided tour. He also speaks with the co-directors of the Madaba Regional Archaeological Museum about the history of Madaba and the Madaba Region and about the importance of community archaeology for Madaba's residents.

The recording of the second episode ran long, so we'll bring you the second part on July 12.

Paul's guest for the second episode were:
• Sam Twal, tour guide in Madaba
• Dr. Douglas Clark, Co-Director, Madaba Regional Archaeological Museum Project (MRAMP), La Sierra University
• Dr. Suzanne Richard, Co-Director, Madaba Regional Archaeological Museum Project (MRAMP), Gannon University
