| Riassunto: | Excavations by a French-Jordanian team in the area of a significant sacred complex surrounded by a small village in Dharih (southern Jordan) yielded a fair number of handmade coarse ceramics. The main part of this assemblage was related to several makeshift structures established high above the Nabataean to Early Islamic remains. The chrono-typological analysis of both pottery and glass finds supported by the interpretation of relative stratigraphy and radiocarbon dating suggests that this phase can be attributed to the period between the second half of the 10th to 12th centuries. This provides a chronological improvement of existing pottery classifications and sheds new light on the settlement fluctuations in the Wādī al‑Ḥasā and, more broadly, southern Transjordan during the whole span of Islamic periods. |
