'Umayri
Tall al-’Umayri is a current archaeological dig site in western Jordan that dates back to The Early Bronze Age and extends forwards to the Hellenistic Period. It is located near the modern capital of Amman, and is significant for its well preserved evidence of a Temple, as well as archaeological evidence of a network of small farms believed to produce wine. == Location == The site sits atop a low ridge between the Queen Alia Airport highway and Amman National Park, approximately 2900 feet above sea level. While the location offers few natural defenses, the location was probably selected to take advantage of a natural spring that flowed as recently as the 1930s according to local historian Raouf Abujaber.〔Fisher, J. R. (1997) Field E: The Water System. Pp. 176-87 in Madaba Plains Project 3: The 1989 Season at Tell el'Umeiri and Vicinity and Subsequent Studies, ed. L. G. Herr, L. T. Geraty, O. S. LaBianca, and R. W. Younker. Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews〕 It appears that this would have been the only reliable water source for travelers between Amman and Madaba.
