Tall Al-Fukhar

Tall al-Fukhar is a vast commemorative site located on the border between Jordan and Syria, in Wadi ash-Shallale. It is home to a rare quantity of pottery, antiques and ancient structures; these discoveries define and trace the Aramaeans, who settled within the valley. The text provides a detailed and thorough examination of the excavations conducted between 1990 and 2002, which shed light on the wars that took place between the kingdoms of Northern Israel and Aram-Damaskus. The Scandinavian expedition, which lies on a 375m natural spur, provides an insight into the social, economic and material developments that emerged from the Early Bronze Age 3600 BC to the Post Hellenistic Period 650 AD, continuing to the modern day.
