The main goal of the project is investigating the settlement history of the northwest quarter of Gerasa/Jerash in Jordan. Gerasa was re-founded as Antioch in the Hellenistic period and it grew and developed extraordinary in Roman, Byzantine and Islamic times. The city is characterized by two major sanctuaries: the tempel of the Hellenistic Zeus Olympios and the temple of the local goddess Artemis. Close to the temple of Zeus Olympios a Hellenistic settlement had been found, while close to the Artemision several indigenous cult places were detected. Immediately West of the Artemision the Northwest quarter is situated. It has a size of approx. 4 ha and is the research area of the project. This area is the most elevated within the ancient walled city and was before the start of the project in 2011 uninvestigated. The proposal aims at continuing our excavations in this area. One of the main goals of the project is the investigation of all settlement phases of the area, with an emphasis on the Hellenistic and early-Roman periods. The understanding of the Northwest quarter has considerable impact on the understanding of the whole city of Gerasa, as our image of the Roman city is considerably shaped and influenced by the large extension of the City wall (whose date is until now disputed). Another objective of the project is to understand the urban structures of Gerasa beyond the main buildings at the cardo. An important feature is the investigation of the water supply of the city, as in our research area the largest cistern of the city is situated. The methods of the project are mainly yearly archaeological excavations and study of the evidences and finds.Apart from the Investigation of the Northwestquarter of Gerasa and the understanding of the City of Jerash, this project intends to be a case study in an important City in the Eastern Mediterranean between the Hellenistic and Islamic periods.

该项目的主要目标是调查约旦格拉萨/杰拉什西北地区的定居历史。格拉萨在希腊化时期被重建为安条克，并在罗马、拜占庭和伊斯兰时代得到了非凡的发展和发展。这座城市的特点是有两个主要圣殿：希腊化宙斯奥林匹亚斯神庙和当地女神阿耳忒弥斯神庙。在宙斯奥林匹斯神庙附近发现了一个希腊化定居点，而在阿耳忒弥斯神庙附近发现了几个土著崇拜场所。西北区紧邻阿特米西翁以西。它的尺寸约为。 4公顷，是该项目的研究区。该区域是古城墙内最高的区域，在 2011 年该项目启动之前尚未进行调查。该提案旨在继续我们在该地区的挖掘工作。该项目的主要目标之一是调查该地区的所有定居阶段，重点是希腊化和早期罗马时期。对西北区的了解对对整个格拉萨城的了解有相当大的影响，因为我们对罗马城市的形象很大程度上受到城墙的大规模延伸（其日期至今仍有争议）的影响。 该项目的另一个目标是了解卡多主要建筑之外的格拉萨城市结构。一个重要的特点是对城市供水的调查，因为在我们的研究区域内有城市最大的蓄水池。该项目的方法主要是每年的考古发掘以及对证据和发现的研究。除了对格拉萨西北地区的调查和对杰拉什市的了解之外，该项目还打算对东地中海的一座希腊化时期和伊斯兰时期之间的重要城市进行案例研究。
