Hamadiya
Hamadiya is a settlement site located in the central Jordan Valley. The excavations uncovered no clear architectural remains; several hearths and pits however were identified. The small ground stone tools assemblage includes primarily limestone vessels and basalt flaked discs, with lesser amounts of grinding tools, bowlets, pestles, bifacial tools and perforated items.
