Numeira

Numeira (also an-Numayra) is an archaeological site in Jordan near the southern Dead Sea. The site has substantial Early Bronze Age remains.

The site is 280 metres (920 ft) below sea level, on the shore of the Dead Sea.

Numeira is also the name given to the river and valley (wadi) adjacent to the archaeological site. The river is significantly eroding the archaeological site, destroying perhaps as much as half the original settlement due to changes in the water course.
