Abstract
This research investigates plaster and mortar samples from different structures at Petra, Southern Jordan. It aims at radiocarbon dating organic inclusions uncovered from these samples in order to refine the chronology of the structures sampled. One of the structures has a Latin inscription so it was used to crossdate its radiocarbon date. The radiocarbon dates of most of the samples synchronize the archaeological records and dates of the structures.
