Archaeology

[edit]

The archaeological site at Haret Ech Cheikh is east of the road betweenDekwaneh andJdeideh, about 50 metres (160 ft) above sea level, on the top of a wooded hill. It was discovered byPaul Bovier-Lapierre andRaoul Describes who suggested it may be ahigh place.[2][3] The hilltop has several outcrops of sandstone slabs suggested to bemegalithic building foundation or enclosure. The suggested foundations have big stones at the corners that were not securely determined to beprehistoric.[1] Materials collected from the site wereNeolithic orChalcolithic in form and was possibly mixed with that of the adjacent site ofAin Cheikh.Lorraine Copeland andPeter Wescombe collected some fresh, unpatinated flint tools from a position west of the hilltop enclosure where a large amount of factory waste was also found. All material is in theMuseum of Lebanese Prehistory, marked with the label "Ain Cheikh". A grandiose villa dominates land covering part of the hill.[1]
