Khirbat Faynan, known in late Roman and Byzantine texts as Phaino[1] or Phaeno,[2] is an archaeological site in Wadi Faynan, southern Jordan. It lies just south of the Dead Sea in Jordan. The site was an ancient copper mine that overlooks two Wadis and is the location of one of the best and most well-preserved ancient mining and metallurgy districts in the world.[3]
