Fieldwork 3 2019_Visiting Umm Al Kundum (05/2019)

Other activities in the field…

Agricultural fields and piles of animal dung for fertilisation. Just outside Amman

During my fieldwork in Jordan I have also been taking some time to re-visit some of the sites in downtown Amman, the Roman theatre and the Jordan Museum (https://jordanmuseum.jo/en). We also visited Mamdoah Bisharat at his farm and house (Umm Al Kundum) just outside Amman. It has been a long and wet spring in Jordan, with the weather only recently getting warm. This has resulted in the landscapes in Jordan being extremely luscious, and the vegetation growing to an amazing height which I have not ever seen before in Jordan.

Four more weeks left in Jordan…more updates to come…
