In particular, we examine how lifeways here (may have) differed from surrounding areas what circumstances drew human animal populations region. Integrating multiple material cultural environmental datasets, explore some of strategies these Jordanian groups that resulted changes settlement, subsistence interaction and, areas, occupation substantial aggregation sites. Five years excavation at site Kharaneh IV suggest very intriguing technological social on-site activities, as well dynamic landscape unlike today. Here discuss particular aspects record within context ongoing palaeoenvironmental reconstructions place findings wider spatial temporal narratives Basin.
