Life, death and the emergence of differential status in the Near Eastern Neolithic: evidence from Kfar HaHoresh, Lower Galilee, Israel

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The I0th through most of the 7th millennia BC (calibrated) in the Near East correspond to the emergence and consolidation of early village societies as part of the ‘Neolithic Revolution’ (Figure 12.1). During the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB, c. 8500-6250 BC) the entire Levant represented a single cultural sphere, albeit with considerable regional subsistence and settlement variability, which is also expressed in a variety of other material culture realms (Banning 1998, 2002; Bar-Yosef 1995, 2001a, 2001b; Bar-Yosef and Bar-Yosef Mayer 2002; Bar-Yosef and Belfer-Cohen 1989a, 1989b; Cauvin 1994, 2000a; Goring-Morris and Belfer-Cohen 1997; Kuijt 2000a; Kuijt and Goring-Morris 2002; Sherratt
