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

Tell er-Rameh rises 30 meters above the plains, featuring an extensive lower town and remains of ancient defensive structures from multiple periods.

The site contains layers of civilization from the Late Chalcolithic period through the 4th Millennium BC, with fortification walls from Early Bronze Age settlements.

A Muslim cemetery occupies the acropolis section of Tell er-Rameh, making this location both an archaeological site and a present-day religious space.

Visitors can reach Tell er-Rameh through local roads in the Amman Governorate, located 12 kilometers northeast of the Dead Sea.

Recent studies at Tell er-Rameh suggest it functioned as the commercial center of ancient Livias while nearby Tell el-Hammam served administrative purposes.
