Archaeology in Jordan
Compared to Israel, archaeological knowledge about Transjordan (today Jordan) is limited. Two universities, the University of Jordan and Yarmuk University, offer archeology studies.

Findings have been published in the four-volume Studies in the History and Archaeology of Jordan (1982–1992).
