... vennero deposte le offerte, e le sepolture disarticolate furono spinte insieme ai teschi contro la parete occidentale della camera. Nella fase IIc, uno strato superiore di pietre venne posto in modo da lasciare uno spazio vuoto al centro, nel quale è stata collocata l'inumazione denominata dalla Kenyon Q2, che appare racchiusa fra le pietre ( fig. 4.22). Il defunto Q2 è stato rinvenuto in posizione flessa sul fianco sinistro con le braccia che stringono le ginocchia unite contro il petto. Sopra lo strato di pietre, quando la camera era ormai quasi totalmente piena, furono deposti altri due defunti in posizione primaria (P2 e T7), appena sotto la curva del soffitto. Le deposizioni del ...

ABSTRACT. Detailed knowledge of the subsoil setting is an extremely important
issue for a correct risk reduction policy, especially when
dealing with urban areas hosting cultural heritage, which enhance
risk conditions even at low geo-hazard levels, as in the case of
Rome. In general, the reliability of risk assessments related to
geo-hazards is st...

The absolute chronology of Early Bronze Age in the Levant has been the object of a major revision (Regev et al. 2012a), which implied an increase of at least two centuries in respect of traditional chronology. Such a shift back was based upon two sites (Tel Yarmouth, Megiddo) which were the backbone of the "reform," but actually do not offer complete sequences for the whole EBA. This was the weakest stone of the revision, together with a partial understanding of stratigraphy/contexts from where samples were taken. Tell es-Sultan/Jericho in Palestine was included in this study, as this prominent archaeological site provided well stratified 14 C dates for EBA. Its stratigra-phy, established by Kathleen M. Kenyon in the 1950s, was reappraised by the Sapienza University of Rome-Palesti-nian MOTA-DACH joint Expedition (1997-2018). Published 14 C dates were reanalyzed along with new samples from carefully stratified and published archaeological contexts, measured by the CEDAD Laboratory (University of Salento, Lecce, Italy). They provided absolute dates connected with stratigraphy useful to double-check the proposed High Chronology. EBA stratigraphic periodization at Jericho suggests a more cautious approach and keeps a multi-based chronology more consistent with a comprehensive historical reconstruction of the Early Bronze Age in Syria-Palestine and Egypt.
... Surveys and materials analysis (Conder -Kitchener 1883; D'Andrea -Sala 2011) suggested the presence of very few villages in the Oasis during the EB I (Fig. 3): Tell Abu el-'Alayiq North and South on Wadi Qelt, and Tell el-Mafjar on Wadi Nue'ima. Tell es-Sultan is the only medium-sized site known in the area and is located in the middle of the two wadi; the site can be included in the fortified category just starting from BA II (Nigro 2005) unlike as proposed by Bar (Bar 2014, 39). This sector is depopulated if compared with the inner hill country and wadis in the northern regions. ...
Burials at the Early Bronze Age IA (c. 3700-3400) cemetery of Fifa, Jordan included a variety of grave goods including beads. These were made of glazed steatite or carnelian. This thesis utilizes use-wear analysis, SEM-EDS, XRD, and a database of 5th and 4th millennium BCE beads in order to build life-histories for Fifa’s beads. Beyond focusing on how the beads were manufactured, where they were produced, how they travelled to the Fifa cemetery, and how they were used at the cemetery, the symbolic and contextual meanings of both types of beads are also explored. I argue that Fifa’s glazed steatite beads were manufactured in Upper Egypt while its carnelian beads were produced in Northwest Arabia. Their exchange facilitated economic and social connections. Both types of beads were likely used for their protective qualities with glazed steatite also potentially assisting in the successful reincarnation of deceased subadults.

Nearing the end of the Early Bronze (EB) I period (3350–2950 bce) the southern Levant underwent a transition from a village-oriented to an urban-centred society. An outstanding phenomenon of this period throughout the region is the proliferation of rounded circular structures, usually interpreted as storage facilities, often found in proximity to domestic buildings. These imply increased food production of individual households and a greater need for storage of food surpluses. The agricultural prosperity and resulting surpluses suggested by these storage structures reflect the changes affecting local society and may have been one of the catalysts for urbanisation and the formation of ruling elites during this period.
