The sites in Jordan that we worked at.

Tuwaneh

The remains of the town of Tuwaneh are one of the largest Roman and Byzantine archaeological sites in this area of Jordan. Situated on two hills, the town was once crossed by the most important road in Roman Arabia via Nova Trajana. The caravans, some of which stopped at Tuwaneh, provided for its prosperity. Before we began our research here, the site was only the subject of a surface surveys under the Via Nova Trajana Project and Tafila-Busaira Project. More>>>

Dajaniya

Dajaniya is one of the largest Roman forts in today's Jordan, right after the legionary fortresses in Lejjun and Udruh. Up to now, only small-scale archaeological research has been conducted within the fort. In the late 1980s, American archaeologists made five trial trenches inside and two more outside of the fort. Analyzing the acquired material, they concluded that the fort was built in the early 4th century A.D. during the reorganization of the eastern border of the Roman Empire by Emperor Diocletian. More>>>
