Immediately under the title "Byzantine period" add: <The sixth-century mosaic known as the Madaba Map indicates that trade across the Dead Sea flourished during the Byzantine period.>

The cultivation of sugarcane near the northern and southern shores of the lake began to develop during the Crusader period and reached its peak under the Mamluks.^[1] Deadseaguardian (talk) 15:32, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
