Human and Environmental Impacts of Ancient Copper Metallurgy
Recent research in Wadi Faynan, a copper mining and smelting region of southern Jordan, indicates that the issues of ancient pollution and contamination are far from straightforward. Whereas previous studies have stated that metal production led to widespread heavy metal contamination of the environment and of humans, this paper argues that lead contamination, a by-product of smelting local ore, is found only in microlocales and affected a small …
A Middle Timnian Nomadic Encampment on the Faynan-Beersheba Road
Excavations at Nahal Tsafit, on the Rotem Plain in the northeastern Negev, have uncovered a Middle Timnian encampment dated to the late 5th/early 4th millennia B.C.E. A large tumulus field, comprising 115 large cairns and three open-air shrines characteristic of the early phases of Timnian culture, was surveyed on the ridge above the site. Although contemporary with the Ghassulian-Beersheba Chalcolithic culture of the settled zone, the architectu…

The Later Prehistory of the Badia
The Later Prehistory of the Badia is a welcome addition to studies of late prehistory of the desert margins, especially considering the series (of which Volume I was published in 1998) covers field
Characterizing the rural landscape during the Iron Age and Roman period (ca. 1200 b.c.–a.d. 400)
Archaeological surveys in the southern Levant have traditionally focused on areas with favorable climates and flat terrain where large urban sites are found, corresponding with a research focus on social complexity and state formation. Fewer surveys have explored the rocky, difficult-to-reach areas where large-scale agriculture was rare. This article uses survey data from the 2009 survey of Wadi al-Feidh, southern Jordan, to demonstrate the impor…
Iron Age Nomads and their relation to copper smelting in Faynan (Jordan)
Scientific Visualization, 3D Immersive Virtual Reality Environments, and Archaeology in Jordan and the Near East
Scientific visualization allows researchers to examine their data in high definition 2D and 3D environments. Field research conducted in the Middle East by the UC San Diego Levantine and Cyber-Archaeology Lab, in collaboration with the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Art, Architecture and Archaeology (CISA3) takes full advantage of a suite of state-of-the-art visualization platforms at the UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute. Research intere…
High-precision radiocarbon dating and historical biblical archaeology in southern Jordan
Recent excavations and high-precision radiocarbon dating from the largest Iron Age (IA, ca. 1200–500 BCE) copper production center in the southern Levant demonstrate major smelting activities in the region of biblical Edom (southern Jordan) during the 10th and 9th centuries BCE. Stratified radiocarbon samples and artifacts were recorded with precise digital surveying tools linked to a geographic information system developed to control on-site spa…
