Archaeology of the Nakba is an independent initiative committed to uncovering and preserving the material histories of the Palestinian displacement of 1948.
We are an independent, interdisciplinary initiative combining archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, artists, and community members.
Founded to explore how the Nakba is etched into landscapes, ruins, and everyday objects, we seek to recover narratives often overlooked in dominant histories.
Conducting archaeological surveys and site excavations in destroyed Palestinian villages.
Integrating testimonies, family archives, and historical documents with material findings.
Creating accessible platforms to visualize and explore sites linked to the Nakba.
By situating the Nakba within archaeological practice,
we contest colonial narratives that
have long shaped knowledge production in this region.
Our work not only recovers tangible evidence of Palestinian life
before and during 1948 but also strengthens collective memory and global understanding of on going displacement.
