Umm el Jamal: Satellite view of site with labels (Google Images/after Butler 1913)

Umm el Jamal, an ancient town in northern Jordan, was mapped between 1905 and 1913 by the Princeton archaeological survey led by Butler (1913). The site was occupied from the 1st through 7th centuries AD, and contains significant Roman and Byzantine architectural features. It was then briefly occupied by Islamic populations until destroyed in an 8th century earthquake, when the town was abandoned. House numbers are labelled in the plan.
