Dhuweila is an archaeological site in the Badia of eastern Jordan. It contains the remains of a small hunting camp, which was first built and occupied in the Early Neolithic and reoccupied, after a hiatus, in the Late Neolithic.[1] The Early Neolithic occupation dates to between 7360 and 7080 BCE.[2]

The site was sporadically revisited in later periods. One of these episodes, dating to the Chalcolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 4450–3000 BCE), is notable for leaving some of the earliest known traces of cotton fabric in the world.[3]
The site was first recorded by Alison Betts in 1981, and excavated in 1983 and 1986.[4][5]
