| The Incense Road |
Fig. 1aThe segment of the Incense road between Petra and Gaza. This segment was compiled using Tsafrir et al.(1994); McCormick (2008) and the locations of Roman milestones (Meshel and Tsafrir 1974, Ben-David 2018 – Person. comm.). Note also the Darb es-Sultan route north of the Incense Road compiled using the maps by Newcombe (1914) and Armstrong (1890)(Figure 2), rectified to the UTM zone 36 N (datum WGS84) Coordinate Reference System (CRS).
