Description
Summary:Considering recent work at Tell esh-Shuneh esh-Shamaliyyeh (Shuneh North) and the results of the excavations conducted at Pella, Abu Hamid and Ghassul on the eastern bank, at Tell Tsaf on the western bank of the Jordan River, this article offers a re-evaluation of the periodisation of three sites tested by H. de Contenson in 1953: Tell esh-Shuneh esh-Shamaliyyeh, Abu Habil, Tell es-Saʿidiyyeh el-Tahta. Regarding the ceramics and architectural remains these settlements seem to us to have been occupied for the first time during the chalcolithic period and North Shuneh remaining alive in the EB period as well.
