  • Dharih (Wadi al-Hasa, Jordan) in the Early Bronze Age

    Marta D’AndreaARTICLEBulletin of the American Society…2026

    Dharih, in the modern Tafilah region of southern Jordan, is best known as a signature site for the Nabatean and Roman periods, but the French-Jordanian team that carried out archaeological research there from the 1980s until the 2000s also uncovered evidence of human occupation through the 4th and 3rd millennia b.c.e., in the Early Bronze Age. In Transjordan, this time relates to the development and crisis of early urbanism and to the consequent …

  • Emergency Actions for the Documentation, Stabilization, and Consolidation of the Early Bronze Age Fortifications at Khirbat Iskandar, Jordan

    Open AccessMarta D’Andrea, Suzanne Richard et al.ARTICLEHeritage2024

    Khirbat Iskandar is an Early Bronze Age (ca. 3800-1950 BCE) mound in the Madaba Governorate of Jordan. Until a decade ago, it was better known as a key site for the non-urban Early Bronze IV period (ca. 2500-1950 BCE), but is increasingly emerging as a signature site for the urban Early Bronze II-III period (ca. 3050-2500 BCE). The contour of the tall site is shaped by the presence of buried fortifications that were investigated in the north-west…

  • New Ams Chronology for the Early Bronze Iii/Iv Transition at Khirbat Iskandar, Jordan

    Open AccessPatricia L Fall, Suzanne Richard et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2022Cited by: 2References: 30

    We present the first Bayesian 14 C modeling based on AMS ages from stratified sediments representing continuous occupation across the Early Bronze III/IV interface in the Southern Levant. This new high-precision modeling incorporates 12 calibrated AMS ages from Khirbat Iskandar Area C using OxCal 4.4.4 and the IntCal 20 calibration curve to specify the EB III/IV transition at or slightly before 2500 cal BCE. Our results contribute to the continui…

  • The Early Bronze IVB pottery from Tell Mardikh/Ebla. Chrono-typological and technological data for framing the site within the regional context

    Marta D’AndreaARTICLELevant2020

    From 2007–2010, a team from Sapienza University of Rome, working at Tell Mardikh, ancient Ebla, excavated one of the longest and better-preserved Early Bronze IVB (c. 2300–2000 BC) stratigraphic and architectural sequences known, thus far, in Western Inland Syria. This provided a unique chance to revise ceramic chronology and phasing of Early Bronze IVB at the site, and to elaborate a four-phase relative periodization (EB IVB1–4). Furthermore, a …

  • An Innovative Strategy to Protect Cultural Heritage in Jordan

    Suzanne Richard, Marta D’Andrea et al.ARTICLEJournal of Eastern Mediterranean…2019References: 4

    The MRAMP represents an American-Italian-Jordanian collaboration dedicated to protecting cultural heritage in Jordan. The proposed new Regional Archaeological Museum within the Madaba Archaeological Park West is an ambitious project to restore and safeguard a complex of Jordanian traditional buildings from the late nineteenth-century Ottoman era within a museum. The complex will ultimately constitute the ground floor while the contiguous “Burnt P…

  • The Early Bronze IV Period in South-Central Transjordan

    Marta D’AndreaARTICLELevant2012

    The Early Bronze IV period of the Southern Levant (2300–2000 BC) is characterized by a number of sub-regional cultural units. That of southern Transjordan has usually been considered the earliest on a morpho-stylistic basis. Recent research has provided new stratigraphic and ceramic sequences, and radiocarbon dates, which enable a reconsideration of chronology. New theoretical approaches to ceramic assemblages allow the issue of regionalism to be…
