The excavations aim at training the students in on-the-field
skills, in the areas of bioarchaeology, drawing, photography, and
archaeological surveys, using the radar transmitting device for the surface
layers of the earth, as well as documentation and analysis of skeletal remains,
in an effort to understand the social life of the inhabitants of the region
during the Roman and Byzantine periods, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The dean of the faculty, Hani Hayajneh, confirmed on Monday
that these excavations, which the faculty has been carrying out since its
inception, are a basis for the scientific research of the faculty members. The
publication of such research reflects on the reputation of the faculty and
university globally, according to Hayajneh, in addition to the fact that such
fieldworks give students field and research skills that they could not obtain
through theoretical study, he added.
