An ancient site located on the northern plateau of the Wadi Mujib in modern Jordan. Under excavation since the 1970s, the site has so far provided evidence for human activity from the prehistoric period through the Islamic.

Base map by Ryan M. Horne for Pleiades and the Ancient World Mapping Center (ancient terrain after the Barrington Atlas). Map interaction design and implementation by Sean Gillies, David Glick, Alec Mitchell, and Tom Elliott for Pleiades.
