Early Neolithic use of upland areas of Wadi El-Yabis : preliminary evidence from the excavations of 'Iraq Ed-Dubb, Jordan

Abstract: Les fouilles qui se sont déroulées dans la grotte d'Iraq ed-Dubb (grotte de l'Ours), située dans les montagnes boisées du Wadi El-Yabis, en Jordanie du nord-ouest, ont révélé la présence de constructions en pierre et d'autres restes de culture matérielle datés par le C14 de 9.950 +/- 100 BP. Parmi les restes matériels de cette occupation PPNA, ont été mis au jour une construction ovale en pierre au sol en terre battue et deux sépultures, et recueillis des restes de faune abondants et de plantes carbonisées en … Show more

“…The lithic and isotope evidence from Wadi Jilat 25 presented here, suggesting either transhumant groups from a Levantine Corridor location or highly mobile nomadic pastoralists exploiting steppe and Mediterranean zone, might be used to provide a temporally proximate analogy to explain ephemeral Levantine corridor sites such as 'Iraq ed-Dubb and Sefunim Cave (Banning 1998;Bar-Yosef 1998;Kuijt et al 1991). These sites have been posited as temporary hunting campsites for task groups of village populations (Banning 1998;Bar-Yosef 1998;Kenyon 1957;Kuijt and Finlayson 2009).…”

“…The Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) burials were similar to the Natufians being pits dug in soil as in Sabra (Finlayson et al 2000), where the dead was placed in a flexed position (Kujit et al 1991). The Middle Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (MPPNB) revealed new types of burials as the case in Ain Ghazal: sub-floor, courtyard with intact skulls, courtyard decapitated and infant burials (Rollefson 1986;Simmons et al 1990;Nessen et al 1991) (Fig.…”

“…Four archaeobotanical samples were analysed, yielding 39 plant taxa, including wild and 'domestic' cereals (Colledge 1994, 169 and table 5.6;2001, table 6.4) Only four dated sites that might belong to Period I have been excavated in Jordan. 'Iraq ed-Dubb (Kuijt et al 1991;, a cave site northwest of 'Ajlun, has eight radiocarbon results, three of which relate to the PPNA phase of occupation (Kuijt 2001, table 1). This phase may be as late as 9000 cal BC, although occupation at ca 9200 cal BC seems more probable (Figure 3.1).…”
