The Early Prehistory of Wadi Faynan, Southern Jordan : Archaeological Survey of Wadis Faynan, Ghuwayr and Al Bustan and Evaluation of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Site of WF16

This edited volume provides a full report on the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A site of WF16, southern Jordan.

Very few sites of PPNA date have been excavated using modern methods, so this report makes a very significant contribution to our understanding of this period.

Excavations have shown that the site contains a highly dynamic use of architecture, and the faunal assemblage reveals new information on the processes that lead to the domestication of the goat.
