Yesterday, the Petra Region Authority of Jordan announced the reconstruction of an exceptional tomb for a girl from the site of Ba’ja dating back to the Neolithic period, during the period 7500-6800 BC, and placed it in the Petra Museum.
The head of the authority, Suleiman Al-Farajat, said that the grave was found in 2018 in the Ba’ja area near the Al-Bayda area in Petra, and inside the grave a necklace was found on the chest of the girl buried in the grave.
The necklace, according to the Jordanian "Al-Ghad", consists of a main pendant made of hollow shells and more than 2,500 beads made of red lime, turquoise, white shells and red iron oxide.
Al-Farajat added that the authority had reconstructed this tomb and formed the contract through a cooperative project with German Professor Hans Gebel and in coordination with the General Department of Antiquities and with the participation of Yarmouk University, the Free University of Berlin, the Sibam Laboratory of the French Scientific Research Center and the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design.
It is noteworthy that the project was funded by the German Research Association, the Franz and Eva Rutzen Association, the X-Orient Association and the Free University of Berlin.
