Avdat, also known as Abdah and Ovdat and Obodat, is a site of a ruined Nabataean city in the Negev desert in southern Israel. It was the most important city on the Incense Route after Petra, between the 1st century BCE and the 7th century CE. It was founded in the 3rd century BCE, and inhabited by Nabataeans, Romans, Byzantines, and during the early Islamic period. Avdat was a seasonal camping ground for Nabataean caravans travelling along the early Petra–Gaza road in the 3rd – late 2nd century BCE. The city's original name was changed to Avdat in honor of Nabataean King Obodas I, who, according to tradition, was revered as a deity and was buried there.

Saadon is an unexcavated Byzantine site located in the northern Negev, about 8 km southwest of Halutza and about 4 km northeast of Rehovot in the Negev. Located on the southern bank of Nahal Saadoun. The name Saadoun is a transliteration of the Arabic name of the site Khirbet a-Saadi. Avraham Negev suggested identifying the name with Soudanon mentioned in Papyrus 79 of Nitzana, the origin of the name in his opinion from the Nabataean name Shado.

In geology, a dike or dyke is a sheet of rock that is formed in a fracture of a pre-existing rock body. Dikes can be either magmatic or sedimentary in origin. Magmatic dikes form when magma flows into a crack then solidifies as a sheet intrusion, either cutting across layers of rock or through a contiguous mass of rock. Clastic dikes are formed when sediment fills a pre-existing crack.
