Domestic refuse maintenance in the Natufian: Faunal Evidence from El-Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel

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

Abstract

Explicitly-defined refuse, amply found in Natu-fian hamlets, has recently been the subject of some research, aiming to answer questions regarding Natufian use of space (household activities and site organization), settlement patterns and degree of sedentism. Such analyses were undertaken, for example, for floors of dwellings at the Early Natu-fian (Valla 1988) and the Final Natufian of Eynan (Samuelian 2003; 2006; Samuelianet al. 2006; Vallaet al. herein), at Wadi Hammeh 27 (Hardy-Smith and Edwards 2004) and recently at Dederiyeh Cave (Nishiaki personal communication).
