The Nabataean sites are mostly farming settlements and are located across the wadis, overlooking the agricultural land. At some of the sites numerous buildings and other features such as tombs and water systems were detected. For example, no less than 33 cisterns were identified at er-Rumeil, and, in 1999, Prof. Foley reported a Nabataean stone sarcophagus. Several sites with earlier material were identified and their lithic material was read by Dr. Gary Rollefson. These sites include an upper Paleolithic lithic scatter, an Epipaleolithic terrace, and a site with Chalcolithic-Early Bronze Age lithics.
Further exploration is planned for future seasons.
