| Summary: | Our knowledge of the archaeological landscape from the Late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) of the southern Levant has expanded considerably as a result of survey and excavation projects carried out over the last two decades. As a result, cultural reconstructions of these early agricultural societies have become more complex and multi-faceted. The social and economic solutions forged by farmers within the Levantine Corridor included some widely shared practices while, at the same time, reflected considerable regional variation. Here the results from the first excavations at Khirbet Hammam in the Wadi el-Hasa, dating to at least 8,300 radiocarbon years b.p., are reported. The site contains impressive standing architecture, well-preserved faunal remains, and diverse lithic assemblages. These materials are helping to paint an accurate picture of life in the upland agricultural villages. |
