“…Among other archaeological sites, the excavations by Johns and McQuitty at Khirbat Faris have revealed tenuous evidence for continuous occupation of this ordinary countryside village in the north Karak Plateau, but this is not demonstrated yet in their published reports (Johns et al 1989;McQuitty and Falkner 1993).…”
