Abstract

This study aims to shed light on a group of archaeological artifacts in the As-Salt Archaeological Museum found during an archaeological excavation in Tell Al-Jādūr. The most important result of this study is that the pottery found in Tell Al-Jādūr belongs to the EBIV, specifically to the Amman-Zarqa family. As a result, a new site can be added to the sites of the Amman-Zarqa pottery family.
