Join us for an inspiring lecture, “Desert Kites and the Timing of Prehistoric Hunting Landscapes in Jordan” by Dr. Sahar al Khasawneh. Desert kites are among the most enigmatic prehistoric structures in Jordan’s arid landscapes, forming vast hunting traps designed to capture wild gazelles and other game. Despite their abundance, the timing of their construction and use has long been debated due to the scarcity of direct dating evidence. Our research employs innovative dating techniques to determine the age of a kite in Jordan, providing the first precise chronology for these ancient hunting landscapes. Attend in person or online: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89896323532... and will be livestreamed on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@ACORJordan1968).
