Sinopsis

This monograph presents the results of nine seasons of archaeological excavations (2004–2019) at Tall Dāmiya, a key site in the Central Jordan Valley. Situated just south of the confluence of the Az-Zarqa and Jordan rivers, near one of the region’s few natural river fords, the settlement mound has long served a vital crossroads of cultures. Founded in the Late Bronze Age, Tall Dāmiya developed into a prominent cultic centre in the Iron Age. In the second half of the first millennium BCE, it was repurposed as a storage site for mobile pastoralists, later serving as a graveyard in the Byzantine and Ottoman periods – before becoming a battleground in the twentieth century. Presented in three volumes, this joint Jordanian–Dutch project explores how people lived in and moved through the arid Jordan Valley over time, offering a comprehensive reconstruction of Tall Dāmiya’s settlement history and shedding new light on its long and varied afterlives.
