Nahal Ein Gev II

The excavation project at Nahal Ein Gev II - a Natufian village site with a complex plan and massive architecture. Its period of occupation overlaps the time-span of the Natufian-Neolithic transition. Our aims are to investigate cultural, technological and subsistence changes at the end of the Natufian while trying to understand the life of the NEG II community. In the last three excavation seasons we exposed numerous architectural features, including a large cemetery bounded by a massive wall, a unique phenomenon in the Natufian.
