This award is given to the most substantial volume dealing with archaeological material, excavation reports and material culture from the ancient Near East and eastern Mediterranean. Wadi Hammeh 27, an Early Natufian Settlement at Pella in Jordan is a detailed report on one of the most important Natufian sites to have emerged in the past thirty years and an integrated analysis and interpretation of subsistence strategies, settlement patterns and ritual life in one of the world’s earliest village communities. The 14,000-year-old settlement of Wadi Hammeh 27 is one of the most spectacular sites of its kind, featuring the largest, most complex pre-Neolithic architectural complex yet discovered in the Middle East, an unparalleled series of artefact caches and activity areas, and a rich corpus of late Ice Age art pieces. \'This book is a treasure-trove for researchers specialising in the Natufian period and is a most significant addition to the data base of the Early Natufian in particular.\' Anna Belfer-Cohen, Hebrew University of JerusalemCulture and History of the Ancient Near East59.Excavations (Archaeology)Jordan River ValleyNatufian cultureJordan River ValleyJordan River ValleyAntiquitiesPella of the Decapolis (Extinct city)Excavations (Archaeology)Natufian culture933.542933/.542Edwards Phillip C1529928MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786566503321Wadi hammeh 27, an early Natufian settlement at Pella in Jordan3774513UNINA
