Bab Edh-Dhra'

the long version

"This final report on excavations at the town site at Bab edh-Dhra contains the results of the expedition to the Dead Sea between 1975 and 1981. The central objective of the expedition was to bring the Early Bronze Age occupation of the southeast Dead Sea Plain in Jordan to life by excavation, survey, and multidisciplinary exploration. As the largest Early Bronze Age site in the southern Ghor, Bab edh-Dhra was the focus because the site's size and much longer history attest to the fact that the peoples at this particular location spearheaded the occupation of the region from the latter part of the fourth to the end of the third millennium B.C."--Preface.
