Dr. Piraud-Fournet was awarded the ACOR Temple of the Winged Lions Publication Fellowship in 2019–2020, which you can read about on ACOR’s website (publications.acorjordan.org/Insights/, acorjordan.org/archaeological-projects/). Abstract: In 1974, Philip C. Hammond from the University of Utah launched the excavations of the Temple of the Winged Lions (TWL), a major ritual complex in the ancient city centre of the Nabataean capital, Petra. Hammond excavated this sanctuary until 2005 as director of the American Expedition to Petra (AEP). The temple contains a cultic platform surrounded by columns, and decorated with painted plaster panels and stucco ornaments. The AEP uncovered and published many remarkable architectural elements, statuettes, objects of worship, and ancillary facilities including workshops and residential spaces. ACOR, in cooperation with the Department of Antiquities and the Petra Archaeological Park, launched the TWLCRM Initiative in 2009, which is dedicated to working with local communities in efforts towards site conservation, presentation, interpretation, and education. The TWLCRM Initiative implemented works in the field and is making preparations towards a final publication of the TWL through an evaluation of unpublished material. As part of publication preparations, many activities have been undertaken, including an assessment and description of AEP archives and the processing of material found during sieving of the former AEP archaeological dumps. Likewise, a review of Hammond’s publications and bibliographical references related to the TWL, other Nabataean sanctuaries, architecture, and worship practices, enable us to highlight key research issues that may constitute the outlines of future study and final publication. The present paper aims at presenting the outcomes of these preliminary activities, the wealth of archival resources, and importance of this study to our understanding of the Nabataean world.
