古代黎凡特南部地区盛行径流收获农业。在现代以色列，这种农业适应战略的残余主要分布在半干旱和干旱的内盖夫地区。大量文献详尽地描述了该地区的农业系统。然而，阿拉瓦山谷和内盖夫南部（不包括乌夫达山谷）干燥、极度干旱地区的径流农业几乎没有被研究过。最近的一项研究揭示了整个阿拉瓦山谷中部的几条河谷（短暂的河道）中残留的简单石头梯田的遗迹，但尚未确定年代。本研究的目的是使用光刺激发光（OSL）方法来测定石阶中沉积物的年代。结果揭示了奥斯曼帝国时期（公元 1516-1917 年）梯田的主导地位。很少有样本可以追溯到早期的伊斯兰晚期（公元 1099-1516 年）或拜占庭时期（公元 324-638 年），以及后来的 20 世纪中叶现代时期。一般来说，这些时期与相对湿润的地区气候条件相吻合，这种气候条件盛行于公元 4 世纪、11-12 世纪和 19 世纪末。然而，我们的研究结果也与中央政府有效治理的时期相一致。因此，本研究的结果符合这样的概念：从古代到近代，周边地区的径流农业是由气候环境和地缘政治条件共同决定的，从而使这些地区有了人类的居住。
Runoff harvesting agriculture was prevalent in ancient times across the southern Levant. In modern Israel, remnants of this agricultural adaptation strategy are widespread mostly in the semi-arid and arid Negev. Extensive literature has thoroughly described the farming systems of this region. However, runoff agriculture in the dryer, hyper-arid regions of the Arava Valley and southern Negev (excluding the Uvda Valley), has scarcely been researched. A recent study revealed remnants of simple stone terraces in several wadis (ephemeral stream channels) throughout the central Arava Valley that have not yet been dated. The objective of this study was to use the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) method to date sediments trapped in the stone terraces. The results revealed dominance of terraces dated to the Ottoman period (1516–1917 CE). Few samples were dated to the earlier Late Islamic period (1099–1516 CE) or Byzantine period (324–638 CE), and to the later, modern period of the mid-20th century. Generally, these periods coincide with relatively moister regional climatic conditions, which prevailed in the 4th, 11th–12th, and late 19th centuries CE. Yet, our findings also concur with periods of effective governance by central administrations. Therefore, results of this study fit the concept that runoff agriculture practiced in peripheral areas in ancient to recent-past times was co-determined by climatic settings and geo-political conditions, which enabled human inhabitation in these regions.
