Temple of Hercules Project, which ACOR began in 1990, involved the excavation and partial reconstruction of the Roman temple, one of the principal monuments of Amman during the classical period. The project was funded by USAID and carried out by ACOR and the Department of Antiquities of Jordan. The first volume, written by Dr. Chrysanthos Kanellopoulos, documents the architectural elements of the temple. It contains a wealth of photographs and drawings detailing all aspects of the Great Temple construction, excavation and preservation. The great Roman temple on the Amman Citadel, or Jebel al-Qala, is popularly known as the Temple of Hercules and can be dated to the term of the Roman governor Geminius Marcianus (A.D.161-166). Excavations were first conducted on the Citadel in the 1930s by Italian archaeologists.

Excavation of the Petra Church site was more than just an excavation, it was a complete project that included the excavation, publication, conservation, and presentation of the site. This beautiful book, published in 2001, was a milestone of the work of ACOR in the Petra Park that continues until today.The Petra Church offers a wealth of detail and scholarship about not only the excavations but also the historical environment of the communities living in the Petra area. The contents of the book touch on the ecclesiastical history of Petra and of this specific church, the architecture, marble furnishings and mosaics of the church, and great details concerning the myriad of finds unearthed in the excavations, such as storage jars, lamps, coins and figurines. Excavations began in 1991, soon revealing important mosaics in the two aisles of the Petra Church. In order to preserve the mosaics after excavation, a competition was held to solicit architectural designs for a permanent shelter over the archaeological site. After much discussion and debate, a shelter designed by American architect Rob Shutler was chosen and funding for its construction was secured from USAID. The shelter was completed in 1997.Illustrated throughout in colour and black & white.
