WF16. Architecture, Sedentism and Social Complexity Communal Building in Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Settlements: New Evidence from WF16

Abstract

Recent excavations at WF16 in Wadi Faynan, southern Jordan have revealed remarkable new evidence for the early Neolithic, especially regarding the development of architecture and settlement organization, allowing fresh insights into the development of increasingly sedentary communities and the social systems they supported. The nature of early Neolithic communities is integral to our understanding of the Neolithic transformation.
