Mesha’s Moab
Since the discovery of the Mesha Inscription, the kingdom of Moab has drawn widespread scholarly attention, with numerous surveys and excavations conducted over the past half century. Despite this research, significant questions remain regarding the origins of the kingdom, its structure, and the many settlements and sociopolitical groups that were integrated within the vision of Moab outlined by Mesha. This article presents the preliminary result…
Life on the margins
Recent archaeological research in western Jordan, and the (semi-)arid regions of the southern Levant more generally, have prompted wide-ranging inquiry regarding technologies, economic interconnections, settlement patterns and subsistence strategies during the 11th and 10th centuries BCE. For western Jordan in particular, recent proposals have focussed on questions related to the nature of socio-political organization, arguing for the presence of…
Old Data, New Ideas
In 2000–2001, the Tall Madaba Archaeological Project (TMAP) conducted an archaeological survey of the site of Khirbat al-Mukhayyat (Jordan) in anticipation of future excavation. Unfortunately, excavations were not immediately possible. With the formation of the Khirbat al-Mukhayyat Archaeological Project (KMAP) in 2012, collaborations with TMAP prioritized the analysis of this survey data. The central goal of the analysis was to create hypotheses…
Conspicuous Consumption and Tribute
Assyrian control of small kingdoms in the southern Levant during the Iron Age opened new trade routes and had an effect on the patterns of exchange. This exchange involved tribute as well as trade. The result for small polities such as Moab was the appearance in small numbers of high-status goods with a foreign origin, along with imitations of such goods produced closer to home. At the Iron Age site of Khirbat al-Mudayna on Wadi ath-Thamad (Muday…
Multiple-Spouted Jars of the Early Bronze I in Northern Jordan
The 1999 discovery of an unprecedented multi-spouted jar at an Early Bronze I site in Wadi Ziqlab, followed by the discovery of two more near Tell ash-Shûna North the following year, suggests the possibility that this vessel type is specific to a small region in northern Jordan. They exhibit similarity to a variety of vessels at Early Bronze sites in northern Israel and Jordan and the Jordan Valley, but none of these have more than one spout, and…
