This paper explores the evolution and transformation of traditional Muslim villages, shedding light on the changes that have occurred over time. Focusing on various traditional Muslim villages, the research employs a multi-faceted approach, combining literature study, historical analysis, field observations, and interviews with community members. Through an extensive review of relevant scholarly works and publications, the study establishes a solid foundation of knowledge and understanding regarding the topic. Field observations and interviews provide firsthand insights into individuals' experiences and perspectives within traditional Muslim villages. The research reveals that traditional Muslim villages have undergone significant transformations in architecture, social structures, and cultural practices. While certain core elements and values have persisted, such as communal harmony and Islamic traditions, these villages have had notable shifts in the physical layout, economic activities, and social dynamics. By unveiling the authenticity of these transformations, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between tradition and modernity in shaping the identity and sustainability of traditional Muslim villages. The findings of this study, supported by a robust literature study and case studies, can contribute to informed preservation strategies and community development initiatives that honor the heritage while embracing the challenges and opportunities of the contemporary world.

“…Although the main purpose is to deepen our knowledge of the supposed early and late Medieval phases of the village, this methodological approach allowed, at the first stage, to start an architectural catalogue of the socalled vernacular architecture (Khammash 1986;Kana'ana and McQuitty 1994;Alsubeh 2013;Twaissi et al 2016;Labin and Aldeek 2017; Shqairat 2018), 24 because the oldest structures lie beneath or mixed with the newer 23 The application of the principles of archaeological stratigraphy to the analysis of historical buildings, developed in the late 1970s, is probably the most influential theoretical contribution of the Italian Medievalist school to the international methodological debate on this topic (Nucciotti and Vannini 2020, 155). Building Archaeology has also achieved a prominent position in the protection and restoration of architectural heritage (Brogiolo and Cagnana 2012).…”

A contribution to the knowledge of the Shawbak territorial settlement in the longue durée This paper presents some preliminary results about systematic Light Archaeology surveys (integrating Building and Landscape Archaeology) that the author is leading in the village of Al-Jāyyah, SE ofthe Shawbak castle, within the archaeological investigations on the landscape surrounding the fortress managed by the Italian archaeological Mission‘Medieval Petra,’ University of Florence. The aim of the surveys is to investigate the historical connection between the castle and the village, suggested by some Medieval written sources. The research’s preliminary outcomes are confirming that even if the present appearance of the village is modern, it preserves significant Medieval material evidences plausibly linked to the Crusader suburb and the Islamic madīnah of Shawbak.
