Ain Abu Nukhayla

Ain Abu Nukhayla is a pre-pottery Neolithic B site in the Wadi Ramm. The small agricultural village consists of small, irregular, circular semi-subterranean huts, lined with undressed stones.

Ain Abu Nikhayla provides a good example of circular hut clusters that characterize the earlier parts of the PPNB period, which in many sites give way to rectangular houses in the latter part of the period (such as Beidha). Stop by and explore them.
