Abstrakt: The long-term research projects within the Faynan Basin of southern Jordan continue to yield new and unexpected finds of all periods. This report focuses upon the investigation of the region in the Faynan floodplain, an area known from previous archaeological survey and limited excavation. Renewed investigation in 2019 focused upon analysis of the environmental impact of early metallurgy upon the ancient population through the excavation of five (5) EB IB tombs, and this paper outlines the unexpected nature of the graves, their contents, and preliminary observations of the human remains.
