Multiple Disciplines, One Goal
We use a multidisciplinary approach encompassing archaeology, geoarchaeology, and paleoenvironmental studies to reconstruct the history of ancient settlements and landscapes. Excavations and soil analysis aren't just for understanding the site's history; they also help protect it from illegal interventions. The aim is ambitious: to enhance its potential to strengthen its candidacy as a site of cultural and natural interest.

Multiplying Knowledge
We believe that knowledge must be shared. That's why we promote the exchange of know-how between local experts and international researchers. We organize advanced training courses, seminars, and workshops to transfer skills and enrich the Lebanese university system with new, cutting-edge technologies and methodologies. We want to train a generation of professionals capable of protecting and valorizing the heritage with innovative approaches and tools.

Living Heritage for the Community
Qalaat el-Hosn is more than just an archaeological site; it's a piece of the territory's identity. Through educational activities in schools, guided tours for students and tourists, and the training of new local guides, we want to give this heritage back to the community.
Moreover, round tables with institutions, protection agencies, and local operators help define guidelines for integrated territorial development, one that successfully combines cultural valorization, environmental protection, and economic growth. This is a model of sustainable tourism that doesn't just invite observation, but encourages participation, storytelling, and the reliving of Lebanese history, nature, and culture.
