Abstract
Wadi Shuʿeib is one of the huge Neolithic "mega-sites" that have been investigated in the Levantine Near East in recent years. The site, located in the central Jordanian highlands, was test excavated over two seasons. Although these were only limited excavations, they demonstrated that Wadi Shuʿeib is a large Neolithic settlement that spans the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (Middle and Late phases), the Pre-Pottery Neolithic C, and the Pottery Neolithic periods; it was abandoned after the Neolithic. This paper is a report of the findings from those studies and provides information on the chipped stone, ceramic, ornamental, and faunal assemblages, as well as on the human burials, architecture, geomorphology, chronology, and stratigraphy of the site.
