Chalcolithic settlements in the Golan, now with Audio

Explore the Golan during the Chalocolithic period (4500-3300 BCE) with the help of audio interpretation! No less than 25 sites representing the Chalcolithic period (4500-3300 BCE) have been discovered in the central Golan since 1973, all of which were surveyed and excavated under the supervision of the late Claire Epstein (1911-2000). These sites all shared a distinct culture and social structure, as evidenced by the architecture, which includes identical unfortified villages with chains of houses built of rectangular stones, as well as the artifacts, which include worked basalt pillars with a basin that were most likely used in sacred ritual contexts. We invite you to sample this culture by visiting Rasm Harbush and Daliyyot.
