Description
Summary:A series of fifteen radiocarbon dates has been obtained from the sites of Damishliyya and Sabi Abyad in the Balikh valley of northern Syria. These dates allow a more precise chronological assignment of later Neolithic cultural developments in the region, in particular of the introduction of the earliest pottery and the appearance of the Halaf culture. Quinze nouvelles datations C14 ont été obtenues sur les sites néolithiques récents de Damishliyya et Sabi Abyad, situés dans la haute vallée du Balikh (Syrie du nord). Ces déterminations aideront à établir une chronologie absolue plus précise pour le Néolithique récent, notamment concernant l'introduction des premières céramiques et l'apparition de la culture de Halaf en Syrie du nord.
