[1] Tall Jawa stands at an elevation of 928 metres (3,045 ft) above sea level, close to the Iron Age capital city of Rabbath-Ammon.

Items excavated include artefacts of daily life such as flasks, jars and ground stone tools, jewellery, figurative objects, coins, seals and even marine shells.

[2] Pottery, mould-made lamps, glass, a small coin hoard and mosaic pavements were amongst the artefacts and architectural elements found in or near the building.

Research on this building and the material culture attached to it has made a contribution to our understanding and knowledge of village life during and after the Islamic conquests in Central Transjordan, as well as the overall 7th to 8th century Christian–Islamic transition.

[2] The zenith of Tall Jawa can be traced to during the period of the Assyrian Empire, according to evidence of ceramic artefacts that are more advanced and of higher status compared to others at the site.
