Aviram Perevolotsky

Aviram Perevolotsky, an ecologist and anthropologist, lectures at Bar-Ilan University. For seven years he lived and worked in the Sinai desert as the Director of a field study for the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel. His study of the subsistence patterns of the Jebeliyah Bedouins living in the same southern Sinai region revealed that the Bedouin often camp on top of or side-by-side with Byzantine monastic settlements.
