Jarmo, Archaeological settlement in Chamchamal, Iraq
The village site extends across 16,000 square meters at an altitude of 800 meters among pistachio and oak forest belts.
Excavations by Robert Braidwood in 1948 revealed a Neolithic settlement dating back to 7090 BCE, marking the start of agricultural communities.
The inhabitants constructed 25 houses using sun-dried mud bricks and stone foundations, developing early architectural techniques in human settlement.
Archaeological evidence indicates residents cultivated wheat, peas, and pistachios while domesticating goats, sheep, and dogs for sustenance.
The settlement contains stone sickles and cutting tools that demonstrate the transition from hunting-gathering to organized farming methods.
