The sum of the radiocarbon dates of the early Neolithic site of Netiv Hagdud indicate an occupation from 9310 BC to 8850 BC, a time frame nearly identical to the Mureybetian. However, there is one date, RT 762C: 9970±150 BP (9800-9250 BC [68.2%]), that falls into an older phase, probably even before the onset of the Holocene. Due to the high deviation of the RT-dates, some of them were not calibrated.[1]

Most of the available radiocarbon dates come from the deep sounding in the northern area. The only burials that can be roughly correlated with some radiocarbon dates are from locus 1003, which is at about the same level as locus 1001. These dates scatter between Pta 4457: 9780+/-90 (9370-9140 BC) and RT 762A: 9680+/-140 BP (9280-8830 BC) (Bar-Yosef, Gopher 1997:63ff.). Consequently, it may be possible that the burials of the upper layers (loci 22, 8, 9, 30) are of the early or even middle PPNB.



[1]The high uncertainties of the RT-results were noticed by Waterbolk, who called them „less reliable“ (1994:360).
