Mobility and exile at 2nd century A.D. khirbet edh‐dharih: Strontium isotope analysis of human migration in western Jordan

“…In addition to Tomb C1, eight cist graves (Tombs C2) were excavated in the southern cemetery (Lenoble, al-Muheisen, & Villeneuve, 2001). Fifteen individuals were recovered from the eight excavated graves: 7 adults, 1 adolescent, and 7 subadults (Lenoble, al-Muheisen, & Villeneuve, 2001:143).…”

“…Some of these well-preserved burials were wrapped in leather shrouds, and in one case a wood coffin containing two individuals remained in the tomb. In the south cemetery, one monumental tomb (Tomb C1) in addition to one smaller communal tomb (Tomb C3) and eight cist graves (Tombs C2) were explored (see Lenoble, al-Muheisen, & Villeneuve, 2001). The monumental Tomb C1 consisted of six shafts, each containing five superposed sepultures, 25 of which were disturbed (Figure 3).…”

Nabataean or not? The ancient necropolis of Dumat. First stage: a reassessment of al‐Dayel's excavations

Agrarian legacies and innovations in the Nabataean territory

“…he absence of sesame seeds in the sediment samples from Ez Zantur and other zones of Petra that were subject to an archaeobotanical analysis (Table 6) is thus likely rather due to a preservation problem or because sesame was only available in Petra as oil. his may also be true for lax, which is only weakly represented in the carpological assemblages of Bosra, although we know that this plant was exploited for textiles since the Neolithic in the Near East (McCorriston, 1997;Zohary et al, 2012: 103-104) and that the linen textiles were used by Nabataean populations (Bouchaud et al, in press;Granger-Taylor, 2000;Lenoble et al, 2001). he use of lax ibers, which generally requires the plant to be cut before going to seed (Reis et al 2006), and the fact that the ibers react poorly to carbonization limits the representativeness of lax although it had a non-negligible part in the economic systems.…”
