The full results of the 2002 excavation, by a team of international scholars, at the site of Khirat en-Nahas (or “ruins of copper,” in Arabic), are reported in the current issue of the British journal “Antiquity”. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/509964/?sc=dwhp " target="blank">www.newswise.com/articles/view/509964/?sc=dwhp </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
