Khirbet es-Samra

Khirbet es-Samra (Arabic: خربة السمراء, lit. 'the dark ruin'; ancient Hatita on the Tabula Peutingeriana) is an archaeological site comprising a Roman and Byzantine era village and an adjacent roadside station (mansio) located along the Via Traiana Nova in northern Jordan. The inscriptions from the ancient cemetery at Khirbet es-Samra reflect a multilingual environment, including texts in Greek, Melkite Aramaic, Nabataean, and Hismaic. The faunal remains from the roadside station indicate a diet based primarily on sheep and goat meat, supplemented by poultry, beef, and pork, with occasional consumption of game, fish, and possibly imported marine products.
