Next Season

During our next season in coming April/ May [2000] we plan to concentrate on the following questions:

Excavation of the lower stratigraphy in Area D: Will we find evidence for the earliest settlement history in this upslope situation that differs from the latest occupation?

Will we find in Area D the burials suggested by the human remains and ornaments found in a sediment trap in the gorge below?

More exposure of architecture: Will the structures give evidence for buildings that served other than domestic functions?

Soundings in Area B ("The Saddle"): Will we find here the expected communal space of the settlement?

How were the extreme parts of the Ba'ja slopes used? Can we identify more traces of architecture that slid down the slopes ?

Investigations of the southern gorge's topography: can we find evidence to test our hypothesis on water storage by damming the gorge?

Can we locate a "second" Ba'ja in the Petra area? .
