Researchers led by Thomas Levy of the University of California, San Diego, and Mohammad Najjar of Jordan's Friends of Archeology, have discovered a copper-production centre in southern Jordan that dates to the 10th century BC, the time of Solomon's reign.
The discovery occurred at Khirbat en-Nahas, which means "ruins of copper" in Arabic.
Located south of the Dead Sea, the region was known in the Old Testament as Edom.
