Tall al-’Umayri is an archaeological dig site in western Jordan that dates from the Early Bronze Age (3200–2100 BCE) to the Hellenistic period (323–30 BCE). It is located near the modern capital of Amman and is significant for its well-preserved evidence of a temple, as well as archaeological evidence of a network of small farms believed to have produced wine.[1] Excavations were proceeding as of 2014.
