Summary
- The Umm ad Dananir Archaeological Survey was born out of the Baq'ah Valley Project. This region held the highest density of the perennial springs and known archaeological remains in the valley and was selected as the primary study area. The project has shown that immediate access to valuable natural resources and strategic location would appear to have been main determinants of human settlment in the Baq'ah. McGovern 1986 p. 7-8
