Conclusions
The excavations on the Tall Zira'a have shed new light on the settlement and the economic history from the Early Bronze Age to the Islamic period. The prominent tall is a unique example of such an extensive range of stratigraphy in northern Jordan. The exceptional importance of the Wadi el-'Arab results from its location between two culturally defined regions – Palestine and southern Syria. The excavations are part of the “Gadara Region Project” – an interdisciplinary study of the regional history of the Decapolis city of Gadara. The long-term archaeological project (2001–2015) is currently being carried out by the Biblical Archaeological Institute in Wuppertal and the German Protestant Institute of Archaeology Amman and Jerusalem (Research Unit of the German Archaeological Institute).
