Abstract
Recent excavations at Fazael 1 in Wadi Fazael in the Lower Jordan Valley have revealed a multi-stratum Chalcolithic site. While the cultural attribution of the basal Stratum IV is still obscure, the architecture and finds from Strata I—III attest to a Ghassulian village of the Chalcolithic period, the earliest site of this period so far noted in the Wadi Fazael floodplain. This paper presents the stratigraphy, architecture and finds from Fazael 1, and attempts to define its place within the Chalcolithic continuum in the region.
