Provenance
At 21.3 km east of Rushayda and at 7.5 km west of Biʾr al-Ruṣayʿī, the Rushaydah-Zalaf road crosses a small tributary of Wādī al-Shām called by the local Bedouins Umm al-Ǧathādir (its confluence with Wādī al-Shhām is 1.5 km to the north-east). SESP.U is 350 m north of the point at which the road crosses the tributary, on the right bank of the Wādī which slopes steeply and is between 10 and 15 m high. This is site J in Macdonald, Al Muʾazzin & Nehmé 1996.
