13th c. CE (?) Earthquake deduced from Rockfalls and Fallen Architecture at Khirbat al-Qurshiyya and ‘Ayn-Qadıb Open site page in a new tab

Collapsed architectural remains at Khirbat al-Qurshiyya and ‘Ayn-Qadıbdate date from the late Roman period to the 13th century CE, while the rockfalls at the same locations appear to have occurred at some point within the past millennium. However, Kázmér and Major (2015) suggest that it is quite possible all of these collapses took place during the 13th century CE.
