Tell Damiyah, located in the Central Jordan Valley, is identified by most scholars with the historical city of Adama, an important town destroyed by Pharaoh Shoshenq I in the late tenth century b.c.e. It is mentioned in the Old Testament along with sites like Sodom and Gomorra, and was ruled by a king. However, the minute dimensions of Tell Damiyah — only a few hectares at the most — makes this identification and description, at least at first sight, not very likely. A joint team of the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities and the Jordanian Yarmouk University has recently discovered the remains of a late Iron Age sanctuary built on the summit of Tell Damiyah. The objects under study offer an alternative explanation for the important international role the site must have played during the Iron Age
