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.>

After "...are places of pilgrimage." add a new subheading:

<Medieval period From the seventh century onwards the Dead Sea area entered a period of decline and its population decreased. 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]
