  abstract = {{N}ew findings of the structure of the {D}ead {S}ea sedimentary basin and its eastern and western bordering regions are obtained by {P} and {PKP} wave relative traveltime residuals of 644 teleseisms, as recorded by the {D}ead {S}ea {I}ntegrated {R}esearch portable seismic network in the {D}ead {S}ea basin and its neighboring regions. {T}he {L}isan {P}eninsula is characterized by relatively small teleseismic traveltime residuals of about 0.14s, in the latitude range of 31.22 degrees-31.37 degrees and at the longitude of 35.50 degrees, slowly decreasing toward the west. {T}he largest teleseismic traveltime residuals are in the southern {D}ead {S}ea basin, south of the {L}isan {P}eninsula in the latitude range of 31.05 degrees-31.15 degrees and along longitude 35.45 degrees and continuing southward toward the {A}maziahu {F}ault, reaching values of 0.4-0.5s. {T}here is a small positive residual at the {A}maziahu {F}ault and a small negative residual south of it probably marking the southern end of the {D}ead {S}ea basin. {E}ast and west of the {D}ead {S}ea basin the mean teleseismic traveltime residuals are negative with overall averages of -0.35s and -0.45s, respectively. {U}sing the teleseismic residuals, we estimate the horizontal dimensions of the {L}isan salt diapir to be 23kmx13km at its widest and a maximal thickness of about 7.2km. {T}he thickness of the {M}ount {S}odom salt diapir is estimated as 6.2km.},
