Lithology: not described

Taphonomic context: human accumulation,settlement

Archaeology: buildings,burials,stone tools

Habitat comments: "The site contains five main strata. The Late PPNB sequence corresponds to Stratum V, marked by brown-red sediment 0.5-1.2 m thick. A few construction phases were found, mainly several levels of plastered flooring. Three burials were also found. The flint assemblage was rich and differed from the upper assemblages in the types of tools, the knapping technology and the quality. Below Stratum V, sterile red soil is found throughout the area".

Life forms: carnivores,rodents,ungulates,other small mammals,birds,turtles

Sampling methods: quarry,screenwash

Sample size: 313 specimens

Years: 2004

Sampling comments: "Initial probes were conducted at the site followed by a salvage excavation in 2004. The main excavation was carried out in two areas: Area A (125 m2) and Area B (50 m2). Area A was excavated to bedrock and reached a depth of c. 4 m while area B was excavated to an average depth of about 1 m". The remains below were derived from Area A.
"All bone fragments were retrieved through dry sifting (10 mm) from stratigraphically well-defined loci and layers".
