abstract = "Recent survey and excavation at Tel {\textquoteleft}Ein Jezreel, located in the Jezreel Valley directly above the spring of {\textquoteleft}Ein Jezreel, revealed evidence for settlement from the Neolithic Period through the modern era. (The Jezreel Expedition was sponsored by The Zinman Institute of Archaeology, University of Haifa, Israel and the University of Evansville, Indiana, USA. One survey season (2012) and six seasons of excavation (2013–2018) were co-directed by Norma Franklin (University of Haifa) and Jennie Ebeling (University of Evansville). While most of the finds date to the Early Bronze Age, there is also substantial evidence for settlement in the Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods. This essay presents some of the pottery, flint, and ground stone artifacts from the Yarmukian culture of the Pottery Neolithic period, the Wadi Rabah culture of the Late Pottery Neolithic/Early Chalcolithic, and the Ghassulian culture of the Late Chalcolithic period. The significance of these finds is discussed within the broader context of Neolithic and Chalcolithic settlement in the Jezreel Valley and adjacent areas.",
