Abstract

Kfar HaHoresh is a small site nestled in the Nazareth hills of lowerGalilee (
location map
), with a stratigraphic sequence spanning theearly through late PPNB (
c
. 8500–6750 cal BC). Thirteen excavationseasons have revealed its potential for investigating mortuary, ritual,subsistence and industrial activities. The site has been interpreted asrepresenting a regional funerary and cult centre for nearby lowlandvillages due to its location and unusual contextual associations(Goring-Morris 2000, 2005, 2008).
