Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Iraq ed-Dubb, or the Cave of the Bear, is an early Neolithic archeological site 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) northwest of Ajlun in the Jordan Valley, in modern-day Jordan. The settlement existed before 8000 BCE and experimented with the cultivation of founder crops, side by side with the harvesting of wild cereals. Along with Tell Aswad in Syria, the site shows the earliest reference to domestic hulled barley between 10,000 and 8800 BCE. The site is located on a forested limestone escarpment above the Wadi el-Yabis in northwest Jordan. An oval-shaped stone structure was excavated along with two burials and a variety of animal and plant remains. The cave is 150 metres (490 ft) above the wadi el-Yabis with a total area in the cave of around 150 metres (490 ft), with as much as 300 metres (980 ft) on the surrounding terrace. The cave measures 10 metres (33 ft) by 14 metres (46 ft) with an oval structure inside measuring 4.5 metres (15 ft). It features mud floors overlaid on mud brick architecture along with a burned post and the two human burials found in bedrock depressions.
