The six dates of Ganj Dareh indicate an occupation from the middle to the late PPNB. Whereas the sum of the radiocarbon dates of the short-lived seeds point clearly to the middle PPNB between 8230 BC and 7750 BC, the sum of the charcoal dates indicates a little later horizon between 7950 BC and 7300 BC, thus partly contemporary with Abu Hureyra.

An older date (GaK 807:10700-10050 BC) coming from the lowest layer possibly hints at an Epipalaeolithic occupation during the Younger Dryas, contemporary with the late Natufian.
