Abstract
In Professor Garstang's two final seasons’ work at Jericho, he established the remote antiquity of the origin of the settlement on that site. He showed that beneath the long sequence of Bronze Age levels lay a considerable depth of Neolithic occupation, with beneath it again soil containing flints of the Palestinian Mesolithic period. At Jericho, therefore, there was evidence of the earliest settled occupation hitherto discovered in Palestine, and the underlying Mesolithic levels suggested that the site might provide evidence for the transition from a food-gathering to a food-producing economy.
