Summary
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.
