Early Village Societies Research Group Special Lecture, by Dr. Danny Rosenberg (Zinman Institute of Archaeology, University of Haifa, Israel)
The Neolithic-Chalcolithic site of Tel Tsaf is a well-known late prehistoric site in the Jordan Valley. With its extensive size of approximately 5 hectares, its deep stratigraphic sequence and its notable preservation of architecture, organic materials and other types of material culture, it represents one of the key sites for studying the Neolithic-Chalcolithic transition and pre-Ghassulian phenomena in the southern Levant. The excavations are directed by Dr. Danny Rosenberg of the Zinman Institute of Archaeology, Haifa University, and Dr. Florian Klimscha of the Eurasia Department of the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin.
