The most distinctive landscape feature at the southern Jordanian site of Humayma is Jebel Qalkha's highest peak, which is split at the top by a wide notch. The Nabataean town of Hawara (Roman Hauarra/Hauara) was built on the plain immediately east of this peak. This paper draws on the site's foundation myth, petroglyphs, betyls and religious and civic structures to illustrate the significance of this notched peak for the site's ancient populations. The evidence suggests that this distinctive peak served as a focus of veneration and a marker of civic identity for Humayma's Nabataean and Roman inhabitants.

Humayma 的缺口山峰：纳巴泰人和罗马人的崇拜和公民身份的焦点

约旦南部 Humayma 遗址最独特的景观特征是 Jebel Qalkha 的最高峰，它在顶部被一个很宽的缺口分开。纳巴泰人的哈瓦拉镇（Roman Hawarra/Hauara）就建在这座山峰以东的平原上。本文利用该遗址的基础神话、岩画、槟榔以及宗教和公民结构来说明这个缺口山峰对该遗址古代人口的重要性。证据表明，这座独特的山峰是胡迈玛的纳巴泰人和罗马居民崇拜的焦点和公民身份的标志。
