“…These pastoral nomadic campsites are composed of a variable number of stone enclosures, ranging from one up to ten units. Although the simple stone enclosures, with or without compartments, represent the majority, the double ‘cell and fence’ as well as complex subdivided units are well represented (for a description of pastoral nomadic stone enclosure typology, see Abu‐Azizeh , , , ). Although the surface material collected from these sites during survey was quite limited, the recurrence of cortical scrapers among the few identified diagnostic artefacts was characteristic.…”

“…Nevertheless, the total absence of these structures in the hamada (limestone plateau) of south‐eastern Jordan remained puzzling for a long time, especially in view of their existence in the neighbouring arid regions of the Negev and Sinai. It became all the more perplexing as the intensification of the archaeological research started to evidence an important late prehistoric (Late Neolithic‐Chalcolithic‐Early Bronze Age) human occupation in this area (Quintero, Wilke & Rollefson ; Tarawneh ; Tarawneh & Abudanah ; Abu‐Azizeh , , ; Wasse & Rollefson ; Fujii ).…”

“…1). Although two of these cairns have been described briefly elsewhere (Abu-Azizeh 2011b, 2013bAbuAzizeh et al n.d.), the progress of the fieldwork now provides a limited, but nevertheless representative sample of structures that highlight the kinds of variability present within what seems to constitute a consistent Late Prehistoric funerary tradition in the arid margins of southern Jordan.…”

“…The numerous stone enclosures and campsites recorded offer testimony for such a human presence and allow reconstruction of the patterns of settlement and exploitation of these remote areas (Abu-Azizeh 2011a, 2013a, 2013bAbu-Azizeh et al n.d.).…”

“…Another function should also be taken into consideration—that of a loosely defined ceremonial and/or cultic space. This interpretation is, on the one hand, supported by the relatively frequent appearance of stone enclosures in Arabia, for instance in Jordan, some of which have been interpreted as cult‐related, especially those that are located in high places (Abu Azizeh, : 29). On the other hand, a similar stone enclosure, of a rather irregular outline, stands just c.300 m north‐west of Unit 6, at the highest point of the rocky outcrop over the Bahra 1 site.…”
