About
Tall Damiyah, located in the Central Jordan Valley of Jordan, is an archaeological site known for its continuous occupation during the Iron Age. The site is characterized by a small settlement mound that reveals evidence of habitation from the Late Bronze Age through various historical periods, including the Persian-Hellenistic, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods. Unique to the site are two-headed horse figurines from the Late Iron Age, suggesting a ritualistic or symbolic significance within the broader Levantine context. The site houses remains of domestic structures and is believed to have served as a regional and interregional cultic gathering place. Recent archaeological efforts, including luminescence dating, have provided deeper insight into the site's history and cultural interactions.
