More about the book

The excavation of Umm al-Biyara reveals significant insights into the Iron Age Edomite civilization, featuring stone-built longhouses from the 7th-6th centuries BCE. The detailed analysis includes stratigraphy, pottery, and artifacts, notably the inscribed bulla of Qos-Gabr, King of Edom. Additionally, the study explores spatial organization and the landscape of mountain-top sites, while later Nabataean remains suggest the identification of the first known palace in Petra, enriching our understanding of the region's historical architecture.
