Description
Summary:Several water supply systems from the tenth and ninth centuries B.C. exist in Palestine. They exhibit many similarities, yet differ in some respects. At present it is not clear where the engineers obtained the knowledge to build them. From the existing systems archaeologists endeavour to show how hydraulic technology developed throughout the tenth and ninth centuries B.C. If research were to be undertaken at sites in Ancient Moab this would help to explain where the knowledge originated to build these systems and how the hydraulic technology developed during this period .
