From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fayfa, or al-Fayfa, is an archaeological site in Jordan located near the Dead Sea. Its remains have been extensively looted.
It is believed that Fayfa corresponds with the historic site of Praesidium, a location listed on the 6th century A.D. Madaba Map, rediscovered in 1884.[1]
During the Mamluk period, the area of Fayfa was occupied in order to exploit "the rich agricultural potential of the entire area."[2]
The site has been subjected to significant looting.[3][4][5]
