8500–6750 BC Prehistoric Funerary Found in the Galilee
The funerary included the remains of 65 bodies, mostly of young males. The complete skeleton of a 40-year-old adult male was unearthed, as well as a sickle blade and over 60 seashells, The seashells provide evidence for extensive exchange networks from the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Symbolic items include small plain or incised tokens. An entire herd of cattle was also found buried nearby.
The Pre-pottery Neolithic B age corresponds to the period when the first large village communities were established in the fertile regions of the Near East, when a wide-ranging cultural interaction sphere came into being throughout the Levant (a large portion of Mesopotamia).
