Figure 52

Four-roomed house from Tall Umayri, Jordan.
© 2014 Dr. David E. Graves

Partial reconstruction of an Iron Age four-roomed house from Tall Umayri, Jordan. There are three rooms in the front, with one at the back. Wattle and daub (sticks and twigs) are used to construct the roof. A mud brick floor is placed on top of the roof to form another living area. A four room house is often considered to be a characteristic of an Israelite house. But as with all things biblical this is challenged by some.
