The inscription in the prayer hall indicates that the building was a monastery, probably founded in 575 CE. The monastery's cemetery, located to its southwest, was well-preserved including four sealed graves of adult males, possibly monks. The mosaic art in the monastery deviates from the period's trends, depicting figurative images and implicit crosses. This, and the location of the monastery, suggest that the monastery served a diversified Christian population.

We note on the relationship between these sub/semi subterranean complex and the 'aboveground' structure and details such as the construction of the stairway, the delimitation of the earthen section formed, the installations exposed in the complexes and the form of roofing. The installations and ceramic assemblages point towards the fact that these complexes were more than simple storage facilities and were in daily use. The earliest Byzantine sub/semi subterranean complex dates to the second half of the fifth century and sixth century though the majority of sub/semi subterranean complexes, built on the outskirts of Byzantine Beer Sheva date slightly later in the sixth century and seem to have been excavated following the outbreak of the Bubonic plague which swept through the Negev in the mid sixth century CE.

The village erased much of the ancient, multi-period site below it and disposed of refuse in a maze of underground spaces, including ancient agricultural installations and Roman period tunnel complexes. Only three or four underground rooms were cleared and used by the later village. Recent archaeological surveys and excavations have revealed details about the village of the British Mandate era (1917-1948). Additional valuable information was gleaned from photographs and records of British medical workers that responded to a smallpox outbreak in Duwāyma in 1921. The village, which was first mentioned in 1759, appears to have undergone periods of abandonment and reoccupation, particularly during the tumultuous events of the nineteenth century and the debt crisis that weighed down on its inhabitants. Much of the material culture associated with the modern village, such as Gaza Ware pottery vessels, ought to be attributed to its latest phase of occupation in the British Mandate era and not the Ottoman period.

At most of those settlements storage facilities (presumably for grain) were small and obviously geared for private consumption associated with individual domestic units. However, a village at Amaziya and another at Lahav differ in that they were associated with clusters of much larger storage units (also presumably for grain) with capacities that obviously far exceeded the needs of occupants of those sites. Such installations suggest that, contrary to the prevailing social paradigm at most communities, those sites were associated with a different type of social organization involving some degree of centralized control and a redistribution system. This was likely catalyzed by interaction with one or both of two large communities in the region with associations to what is believed to be Egyptian colonial activity in the southern Levant.
