Basta

Historical Site

Prehistoric archaeological site in Jordan

Basta is a pre-historic archaeological site and village in Ma'an Governorate, Jordan, 36 kilometres (22 mi) southeast of Petra. It is named for the nearby contemporary village of Basta. Like the nearby site of Ba'ja, Basta was built in c. 7000 BC and belongs to the PPNB period. Basta is one of the earliest known places to have a settled population who grew crops and domesticated livestock.
