Geography comments: "Motza is an Early to Middle Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) site located in the Judean Mountains, 5 km west of Jerusalem".
"Layer VI, the Early PPNB stratum, has been dated to 10,500–10,100 cal. BP".

Environment
Lithology: not described

Taphonomic context: human accumulation,settlement

Archaeology: bone tools,hearths,stone tools,other artifacts

Habitat comments: "The Neolithic site of Motza was first noted in the 1920s when artefacts including arrowheads, sickle blades and bifaces, were collected during a cursory survey. The first in situ Neolithic remains were discovered in 2000 when a test trench was excavated at the southern margin of the site".
"There were no architectural features except for a few constructed small hearths. Tools, on the other hand, were abundant, including points, sickle blades, bone tools, and a remarkable hafted tool". Other flint tools (axes and knives), a figurine of an ox made of clay, a stone-carved human face, seeds, stone bracelets, and other objects have also been found from the site.

Methods
Life forms: carnivores,rodents,ungulates,other small mammals,lizards,turtles

Sampling methods: quarry,screenwash

Sample size: 4778 specimens

Years: 2002, 2003

Sampling comments: "Two PPNB strata were uncovered in two seasons of excavation (2002, 2003)".
"The excavation grid was 1 m2, with a depth of 10 cm. Sediment from floors was wet sieved through 1 mm mesh, and material recovered from other areas was dry sieved through 2 mm mesh. Zooarchaeological finds were packed in separate bags that were labelled with the archaeological context".
