Khirbat Nuqayb al-Asaymir
Khirbat Nuqayb al-Asaymir (In Arabic means "Ruin of the Small Black Pass", abbreviated as KNA) is a Middle Islamic period (1000-1400 CE) archaeological site located at Faynan, southern Jordan. The site contains smelting workshops, dwellings, watchtowers, and administration areas. The study of the site began in early 20th century and has continued to the present. After a survey in 2002, artifacts including pottery and coins were discovered at the site, which date the occupation of the site to Middle Islamic-period and give interpretations of the activities and economics at KNA in the past.
