Tall Hisban is a farming town in the Madaba Plains in central Jordan, a highland plateau bordering on steppe lands. Located in the wheat basket of the Middle East, the Tell, one of many in the area, is across the Dead Sea from Jerusalem. Tell Hisban is the oldest continually excavated site in Jordan and has been the subject of excavation since the 1960s. It is one of the largest archaeological projects in Jordan.
