Seven radiocarbon dates from the PPNB site of Es-Sifiya have been published so far (Görsdorf 2000; Mahasneh 1997)1. All of them date to the final phase of the PPNB/or to the PPNC. Most of them come from Area C, especially from the northern part, of which the excavator reports that this part of the Area might belong to a younger phase (Mahasneh, Bienert 2000:2). Only one sample has been taken from the largest room (11) in Area A (Mahasneh 1997:213). The sum of all dates ranges between 7060 BCcal to 6820 BCcal.

A MPPNB-Phase as it has been suggested according to different building phases in Area B could not yet be verified by the radiocarbon dates (Mahasneh 2004: 49).

1) I am very grateful to Moritz Kinzel for his information about the Berlin radiocarbon dates of Es-Sifiya - published by Görsdorf (2000).
