Description and Table of Contents
Description
Tell Sabi Abyad II is a small prehistoric mound located in the steppe
region of northern Syria. The large-scale excavations have revealed
eight main levels of occupation mainly represented by multi-roomed
rectangular buildings. These levels are dated between 7550 and 6850 cal
B.C., i.e. in the Late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period.
This
extensive and well-illustrated interim report deals with respectively
stratigraphy and architecture, flint and obsidian industries, small
finds, early pottery found in the topmost level, plant remains and
animal remains.
In the conclusions the main results of the
excavations are summarized, and the site is being discussed in its wider
context.
