Summary

This chapter examines the economic pattern of the monastery built around the Memorial of Moses on Mount Nebo in the Roman province of Arabia (modern Jordan). After a topographical introduction of the site’s landscape and its physical environment, the agricultural production strategies of the monastic complex are taken into consideration. On one hand, particular attention is paid to the production facilities found in the monastery, such as wine presses and ovens for the preparation of bread, and on the other hand to the traces of agricultural tillage, the management of water resources, and religious and lay patronage. The analysis of seeds and palaeobotanical remains found in the latest archaeological excavations allow us to reflect on the possible diet of the monks and, consequently, on the crops grown in the monastic fields of the Nebo region.
