ABSTRACT
Immediately west of the modern village of Wadi Ramm is a small hillock. On its western side, flanking the mountain, was a Nabataean temple and adjoining complex; on its eastern end, overlooking the valley, was a Nabataean palatial residence. All three structures had been partially cleared by a Department of Antiquities team in the 1960s, but the records were lost before anything could be published. In order to record and date what was already exposed, two different teams undertook to map, clean, and probe these structures in 1996 and 1997. Laurent Tholbecq from IFAPO examined the temple and the Western Complex, while Reeves and Dudley from the University of Victoria recorded the Eastern Complex discussed here. 1
