Special thanks goes to Carol Mason who lent her photography skills to the project and to Richard Jones for his assistance during the third field season (2001).
Raid al-Baqain, a Jordanian social economist and the co-author of this site, has worked with me in 1997, 1999 and 2001 and his companionship and expertise have been invaluable.
Also, Satah Massawah has been a member of the Contemporary Studies Team for three field seasons and comes from the Jordanian Ministry of Antiquities.
Wesley Burnett and William Young were wonderful companions for two of the three seasons. And finally, the many Bedouin families that allowed us to access to their tents with graciousness and hospitality, especial the family of Odee.
