They are co-directors of the Oued Beht Archaeological Project in Morocco. Located in northern Morocco, between the coast and the Middle Atlas Mountains, Oued Beht occupies a unique position that favours both agriculture and trade. Its varied terrain, with river valleys intersecting rolling hills and plains, offers fertile ground ideal for early agricultural activities. Oued Beht yielded domesticated plant and animal remains, pottery – including painted types – polished axes and chipped stone. The Oued Beht Archaeological Project’s recent “re-discovery” of Oued Beht emerged from a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach.
