INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
The Council for
British Research in the Levant, The German Institute and American
Center for Oriental Research Facilities:
The CBRL is a research institute located in the Jubaiha neighborhood of
Amman, near the University. The CBRL has a small number of rooms, a library,
workrooms for their projects, and is a small and very friendly place to
visit or stay. For about 16 JD, the hostel accommodations include a small
cash bar, television, and VCR for heavy-duty vegetation. We will officially
be running our project out of the CBRL, so we will be picking up our mail/faxes
there, and using it as a home base for the project.
You should ask your family and friends to write you at the following address:
Your Name
Dhra' Excavation Project
CBRL
P.O. Box 519
Jubaiha 11941
Amman, JORDAN
Your friends and families can also fax you at the CBRL, and the fax will
be left for you in the mail. The telephone number at the Institute is
011-962-6-5341317 or 011-962-6-5332613 and the fax is 011-962-6-5337197.
The CBRL will charge a fee for the use of the telephone and fax machine
on all outgoing calls.
Since you're working on a project working through the CBRL, you will be
required to join the CBRL as a member. Membership has several privileges,
including discount hostel rates, and a membership card that is good to
carry around with you as you are traveling through the countryside. In
anticipation of this, be sure to bring along a few extra passport size
photos of yourself. These don't have to be fancy, and if you can find
a photo booth, these are a great, inexpensive way of getting a few extra
pictures to bring along.
There are a few other research institutes in Amman which support archaeological
projects, and the closest ones are the German Institute and the American
Center for Oriental Research. Like the CBRL, both of these institutions
offer hostel accommodations, and have extensive library collections to
support historical and archaeological research. If you are interested
in learning more about these institutes, contact on of the directors.
