As part of its support for the Department of Antiquities in the rehabilitation of the site, ACOR USAID SCHEP photographed Khirbet Salameh from above using drones. The multi-use site of Khirbet Salameh, which is located adjacent to ACOR headquarters in Amman, spanned several cultures from at least 500 BC to AD 700, with a late Roman/Byzantine and Umayyad fortified farmstead constituting the remaining structures. It was partially excavated by ACOR in the 1980s and 1990s, in cooperation with the University of Jordan. Documentation of the site allowed the SCHEP team to draw up comprehensive plans for preservation- and presentation-related interventions.
