The Karak Castle and Town Documentation Project has recently launched its third season. This new project, involving an international team, aims to document the archaeology and history of Karak castle and town in the Middle Islamic period. It is currently focused on the complete and detailed documentation of the structures by means of a photogrammetric survey, the discipline of Building Archaeology, the creation of plans and sections of the castle, and a programme of professional training.
The current fieldwork phase is part of the broader project Frankish Settlement in the Lordship of Transjordan: Society, Economy and Landscape in the Crusader Period.
