Abstract
Recent excavations at Fazael 5 in Wadi Fazael in the Lower Jordan Valley have revealed a three-stratum Chalcolithic site. While the cultural attribution of the upper and base Strata (I and III) are still obscure, the architecture and finds from Stratum II attest to a Late Ghassulian broadroom house, the typical type so far noted in contemporary sites in the Wadi Fazael floodplain. This paper presents the stratigraphy, architecture and finds from Fazael 5, and attempts to define its place within the Chalcolithic continuum in the region.
