| | No Cities in Transjordan before 1250 B.C.? |
 | | The archaeological finds showed that these Transjordan settlements shared their cultural characteristics with Palestine and Phenician cities from the same period. |
 | | Late Bronze graves were found in Amman, Irbid, Pella, and Tell es-Sa'idiyeh, and large quantities of Late Bronze pottery were found in many places in the Transjordan area. |
 | | Archaeologist R. Dornemann, an expert in Transjordan archaeology, not surprisingly concludes that the archaeological research carried out since Glueck's publications has proved beyond doubt that urban civilisation existed throughout the Middle and Late Bronze periods, although the number of cities may have decreased after the Early Bronze period. |
