When Henry Wellcome set off to Jebel Moya, he had high hopes of finding the “origins of a civilization”. Four seasons and many thousands of pounds later, he was left feeling personally disappointed. The site quickly faded from memory. Or did it?

The inhabitants of Jebel Moya have always been aware of the site. Since 2017, a renewed programme of investigation has uncovered this site’s complex and fascinating history. How did this happen? And what exactly is at Jebel Moya? As this talk will show, Henry Wellcome’s disappointment was very much misplaced.
