TELL QARAMEL, EXCAVATIONS 2006

Summary/Abstract: Exploration continued of Early Aceramic layers, representing the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) horizon in traditional terminology and designated as Qaramelian on our site, as well as some older structures from the Proto-Neolithic, meaning Proto-Qaramelian. Field activities were concentrated on the southern slope and foot of the tell, around the two towers (squares J-7, J-8, K-7) and the “shrine/common house” (K-3/4, L-3/4). New squares (L-4b,d / M-4a,c and L-5) were opened east of previously completed squares K-5b,d and K-3,4 / L-3,4, in an area where younger occupation layers from the Bronze and Iron Ages are less extensively represented.
