History

[edit]

It is also an ancient archaeological site, excavated in 1963 byJacques Cauvin who found an abundance of flint tools. Examinations were conducted on 378 artifacts with finds including daggers, arrowheads, sickles, axes, chisels, picks and awls traced to theNeolithic horizon.^[1]James Mellaart suggested thatHeavy Neolithic tools and weapons found at the site were"not associated withpottery, and possibly earlier than the Pottery Neolithic ofByblos."^[2]
