Age determination of runoff terrace systems in Petra, Jordan, using rock surface luminescence dating
The Nabatean Flood Control System of Wadi Hremiyyeh, Petra
A project to restore the function of an ancient Nabatean flood control system that had previously protected the Plaza of the Treasury (Al-Khazna), Petra, is described herein. The project involves a large, multidisciplinary team, numerous stakeholders, and a difficult setting. It involves training, outreach, documentation, archaeological investigation, hydrological modeling, architectural conservation and rehabilitation. Previous studies had indic…
Marble Sculptures from the Great Eastern Baths of Gerasa (Jordan)
This paper aims to examine the provenance of Roman marble statues uncovered from the Eastern Roman Baths (Gerasa of the Decapolis, Jordan) during the 2016 and 2017 excavation campaigns. The samples were characterized using magnifying lenses, an x-ray diffractometer, a stable isotope mass spectrometer, and a polarized light microscope. The results show that the Aphrodite and drapery marbles are dolomitic and most probably from the Cape Vathy of Th…
Development, distribution and palaeoenvironmental significance of terrestrial carbonates in the Petra region, southern Jordan
Mosaic pavement mortar production in Gerasa in the Byzantine period
Documentation and Protection of the Quarries of Gerasa
The Roman quarries in the environs of Gerasa provide an interesting insight into how stone was extracted and shaped for the purpose of building the monumental city. Ancient quarries carry aesthetic, educational and scientific values that future generations deserve to enjoy. Despite this, little has been done to document or protect these quarries, and many of them are not even officially listed as archaeological sites. In this paper, we describe a…
Petrology of Middle Islamic Pottery from Khirbat Faris, Jordan
Geological investigation of the environment of Khirbat Faris reveals that the most suitable clay materials in the area for pottery production are from the marl-rich carbonate layers of the Upper Cretaceous sequence in the area. Petrographic analysis of the pottery from the Ayyubid-Mamluk site shows two types of pottery according to provenance. Wheel-thrown glazed pottery and wheel-thrown cream-slipped ware appear to have been imported to the site…
