A program for restoration and rehabilitation was launched in 1996 in cooperation with UNESCO and Studium Biblicum Francescanum. This resulted in updated topographic map and a masterplan which focused on the restoration of the mosaic of the sirdab (the small bath).

In 2006, new excavations were carried out under the direction of Dr. Hamdan Taha of the Palestinian National Authority's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. Current research is being conducted by the Jericho Mafjar Project, a collaboration between the ministry and archaeologists from the University of Chicago.
