Ma’arrzajta; Maʿarzita Complete

Description

Information on the site’s earlier history is virtually nonexistent: apart from the discovery of a mosaic within the village, no additional historical details are recorded. Maʿarzita, a modest settlement situated in the Kafar-Nabel area, continued to be inhabited into the early twentieth century.
