The Jordan Valley is one of the richest archaeological regions in the entire Near East. It shows a long and unbroken occupational history since the earliest periods of human settled life. The region has played an important role in the Natufian and Neolithic periods, as well as in the formation of village farming communities of the Chalcolithic period and the first towns of the Early Bronze Age (3rd millennium BC). Major sites were also recovered during the Middle Bronze, Late Bronze and Iron Ages. Roman, Byzantine and Islamic sites are well represented. The Ayyubid/Mamluk period was best represented period and it was apparently associated with the sugar industry in all parts of the Valley. Many of these sites were abandoned during the Ottoman period.

The Jordan Valley witnessed major surveys and excavations at many sites including Tell Ash Shunah North, Tabaqat Fahil (Pella), Tell el Hayyat, Tell Abu Al Kharaz, Tell Abu Hamed, Tell as Saidiyyeh, Tell Al Mazar,Tell Deir Alla, Tell Damiyeh, Tell Nimrin, Tell Al Hammam, Tuleilat Ghassul, the Baptism Site and others. Many of the archaeological sites and historical buildings were destroyed or are in immediate danger.
