The lecture was about the archaeological site of Tell es-Sukhnah, which is located in the north-eastern part of Jordan in the middle/upper of Wadi az-Zarqa basin. Excavations at the site uncovered various human occupations spanning the Middle Bronze Age to the Islamic period. In this lecture, the focus was on the results of excavations with respect to human settlements at the site during the Middle Bronze, Iron Age and Hellenistic periods. Furthermore, the focus was on the functional changes of the site during the above periods and its role at the regional scale, esp. as its location along the west-east trade routes and as part of the Ammonite territories during the Iron Ages.
