Émilie Porcher, archaeologist in the heritage department of the town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, will talk about the ancient Jewish history of the Comtat Venaissin and the work being done in the region to highlight this cultural heritage. In Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in particular, the Town Hall and the Heritage Department are making great efforts. These include architectural research into the Beaucaire building and the Carcassonne building, which adjoined the synagogue, as well as the cleaning of the tombs carried out in conjunction with the University of Avignon and the DRAC, which enabled a scan to be made and a full study of the cemetery to be carried out. Many other projects are underway.
