Amman: The American Center of Research, 2024

Bringing Petra’s Temple of the Winged
Lions to publication in the present
volumes has represented a major accomplishment,
spanning nearly 􀄙fteen years
of engagement by the American Center of
Research (ACOR) and dozens of colleagues.
As you will read in Chapter One, the temple
itself has had a scholarly journey dating back
to 1974, culminating now forty-one years later
in the two volumes of scholarship presented
here. Hundreds of scholars, students, and
benefactors from the U.S., Canada, Jordan, and
elsewhere have worked at and supported the
work at the site during that time and played an
essential role in seeing the temple’s story told.
Here, we thank them and o􀄛er these volumes
as a testament to their dedication and immense
collective effort.
