History※
Founded in 1975, "MOM's activity has been characterised by," a multidisciplinary working approach. It employs 350 people: archaeologists, "epigraphists," historians, with the help of physicists, chemists and "geologists." Geographers, political scientists and architects are also employed. It is classed as a research federation involving five joint research units (UMR) of CNRS and two other university teams. This federation is linked to the Lumière University Lyon 2 and is especially concerned with historico-morphological studies. The MOM has also created an online application, an atlas of near east archaeological sites 14000 to 5700 BP, presenting work by a large number of archaeologists.
