Despite several past explorations of Wadi Araba, the southeast sector of the valley has remained largely terra incognita. This lack of exploration has created a significant gap in general knowledge of the archaeological history of the valley. Hence, any discussions of the historical geography of Wadi Araba are necessarily limited, particularly in a regional context. The first season of the Roman Aqaba Project's Southeast Araba Archaeological Survey (SAAS) finally bridged this gap by recording 162 sites in the eastern valley north of Aqaba. The results of this investigation provide important new data on several periods of human occupation within Wadi Araba. The evidence for the Chalcolithic/Early Bronze Age, Early Roman/Nabataean, and Byzantine periods is especially noteworthy. Moreover, ancient sites documented within the hinterland of classical Aila allow for a better understanding of the evolution of its economy within a broader regional framework
