Tall Jawa

خربیه السوق, Jordan

Tall Jawa

Tall Jawa is an archaeological and historical site in central Jordan. Excavations and research have revealed the remains of an Iron Age village of the ancient Kingdom of Ammon. A two-storey house of the early Islamic period was also found, providing insight of the 7th to 8th century transition from

Christianity to Islam in Central Transjordan. Today, Tall Jawa stands as a tell — a mound of ruins — overlooking the Madaba Plain. Amongst local people, it is known as "The Rock", but its ancient name is unknown.
