Zusammenfassung

During the course of the map survey of Wadi Qelt in the Judean Desert (map 18-13), Khirbet Handumah was discovered and excavated. The ruins are located ca. 1 km from the Euthymius Monastery (Khirbet Khan el-Ahmar). The architectural, ceramic, and numismatic finds indicate that this is a single-period site from the Byzantine period. The site contains two distinct sections: A. the northern section, containing a paved stone courtyard with rooms north and west of it; B. a cistern. The upper story of the building may have housed a church.
