Ancient residential Buildings in the northern Jordanian Badia, an archaeological and architectural study

Ancient residential buildings in the northern Jordanian Badia exhibit architectural features reminiscent of Islamic and Byzantine styles, revealing a distinct yet regionally consistent design. These structures, found across sites like Umm el-Jimal and Sama al-Sarhan, share common traits while maintaining unique individual characteristics. The research identifies similarities with Horan-area designs, suggesting cultural or functional parallels. Using a historical descriptive analytical approach, the study catalogs building materials, shapes, and architectural elements, providing insight into the region's historical settlement patterns.
