Research Abstract |
Our team has conducted geological, chronological and environmental field survey in and around the Tell Ghanem al-Ali excavation site. Important research results are as follows. (1) The tell is located on the lowermost terrace that formation was started c. 3300-3100 cal BC. (2) The ^<14>C chronology suggests that the human occupation lasted from 3100 to 2050 cal BC at the tell site. The dates of the cairn tombs in the Bishri Mountains are younger than 2000 cal BC. (3) The younger the sediment samples collected from the oxbow lakes, the higher the ratio of herbaceous pollen fossils to woody pollen fossils.
