Tel Tsaf, Archaeological settlement in Jordan Valley, Israel
The settlement contains four architectural complexes with courtyards, rectangular rooms, and numerous cylindrical silos for grain storage near a 6.5-meter-deep well.
Excavations at Tel Tsaf have revealed evidence of human habitation during the Middle Chalcolithic period, approximately between 5300 BCE and 4700 BCE.
The settlement yielded nine clay architectural models, painted pottery with red and black geometric decorations, and numerous clay figurines indicating developed craftsmanship.
Researchers from Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the German Archaeological Institute continue excavations to study environmental conditions.
Archaeological findings include a copper awl and a burial containing a woman adorned with a belt made from 1,668 ostrich eggshell beads.
