Taxel (2013:178-179) noted the following about archaeoseismic evidence in Khirbet al-Niʿana

Excavation of the western fringes of the inhabited area (the results of which were only preliminarily published) show no clear evidence for occupation after the mid-seventh century. According to the excavator (Torge, 2010)

The site was largely abandoned at the beginning of the Umayyad period and most of the masonry stones were plundered. The signs of destruction and burning may point to its destruction in the earthquake of 633 CE.

Unfortunately, however, the basis for this dating was not provided in the report.

Taxel (2013:179) added

Although large parts of the site remained unexcavated, and many details regarding some of the excavations await more detailed publication, the history of Khirbet al-Niʿana at the beginning of the Early Islamic period can be tentatively reconstructed. The results of the above-mentioned excavations indicate that domestic and industrial activity continued, with little change, at least until the second half of the seventh century. This conclusion, which is based on the published ceramic and numismatic finds, contradicts Torge’s suggestion (above) concerning the destruction and almost complete abandonment of the settlement in 633 C.E. However, it seems quite clear that certain parts of the site were not occupied after the seventh century; secure evidence for eighth to ninth/tenth century activity has thus far only been attested at the southeastern fringes. It is therefore possible that around the late seventh/early eighth century, the settlement was reduced in size or the core of the inhabited area was moved to another location that has not yet been excavated.
