Tell er-Rameh

Tell er-Rameh, Archaeological mound in Amman Governorate, Jordan

Tell er-Rameh is a small mound in the plain east of the River Jordan, about 19 km (12 miles) from Jericho. Its acropolis holds a Muslim cemetery that prevents excavation. It has been identified as Livias, and recent work proposes it was Livias's commercial and residential centre, with the administrative centre at Tall el-Hammam.

Tell er-Rameh has been identified with Livias, the city Josephus calls Betharamphtha. Nelson Glueck accepted the name equation but argued that pottery from the mound rules out the identification with biblical Beth-haram. Graves and Stripling instead place Livias's commercial and residential centre at Tell er-Rameh, with the administrative centre at nearby Tall el-Hammam.

A Muslim cemetery occupies the acropolis section, making this location both an archaeological site and an active religious space. The site interweaves ancient ruins with contemporary burial practices.

Tell er-Rameh lies in the plain east of the River Jordan, about 12 miles (19 km) from Jericho, in Amman Governorate. A Muslim cemetery covers the acropolis, which has prevented excavation of the mound. Access is by local roads; the cemetery is in religious use, so visitors should keep to its edges and avoid graves.

Recent research suggests the site functioned as a commercial center for the ancient city of Livias. This role distinguished it from the nearby Tell el-Hammam, which served administrative functions.
