Tall Zira'a
Jordan
The Tall Zira'a (also Tell Zera'a and Tall Zar‘a) is an archaeological tell in Jordan. Surveys and geophysical investigations showed the site's great potential for excavations. Tall Zira´a contains evidence of over 5000 years of settlement – almost without cultural gaps, at the point at which the Syrian cultural sphere meets the Palestinian. Its almost continuous stratigraphy from Early Bronze Age to the Islamic periods can possibly demonstrate the history of northeast Jordan. Tall Zira'a lies about 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) south-west of the ancient Decapolis city of Gadara and is situated at the confluence of the Wadi el-'Arab and its tributary, the Wadi az-Zahar.
