القويرة, Jordan
Khirbet el-Khalde is an archaeological site located in southern Jordan. It features the remains of an ancient castellum (fort) alongside a second building often identified as a caravanserai. Evidence points to occupation mainly from the Nabataean period through the Late Byzantine period, with traces
of earlier Iron Age and later Islamic-era activity. The site was first systematically surveyed in 2023, helping to clarify its layout and chronology, while also documenting significant damage caused by modern infrastructure works, recent archaeological looting, and erosion caused by seasonal flooding in Wadi al-Yutm.
