- The project withholds exact site coordinates because the terraces sit on private agricultural land and the site needs protection.
Field notes
The site places the settlement between a spring and a tributary of the Zarqa River, on south-facing terraces at 430–470 metres above sea level. It describes an interdisciplinary team from Spain, France and the United Kingdom, alongside workers from Quneya who have joined successive seasons. The excavation account spans Zones A–G; the project says work moved to Zones E, F and G from 2023.
