Epipalaeolithic settlement dynamics in southwest Asia: new radiocarbon evidence from the Azraq Basin
Abstract
A series of radiocarbon dates from two Epipalaeolithic sites – Kharaneh IV and Ayn Qasiyya – in the Azraq Basin of eastern Jordan provide a new perspective on the chronology and settlement patterns of this part of southwest Asia during the Late Pleistocene. We discuss the implications to our understanding of the chronology of Late Pleistocene lithic industries, particularly in regard to current hypotheses for the abandonment of eastern Jordan's ‘mega‐sites’, Kharaneh IV and Jilat 6. Modelling a series of accelerator mass spectrometry dates from Kharaneh IV indicates a much shorter span of occupation for the site than previously assumed by the size and density of its deposits. Given the high density of material accumulated over a relatively short time span, we show that Kharaneh IV was an aggregation site occupied intensively by a significant number of people, providing new perspectives on the east Jordanian phenomenon of Epipalaeolithic ‘mega‐sites’.

At Kharaneh IV, microliths have been classified as Kebaran.
“At Kharaneh IV these microliths have been classified as Kebaran (Maher et al., 2012a;Muheisen, 1988;Richter et al., 2013), while at Jilat 6 they are considered Nebekian and Nizzanan, the latter considered to be closely related but occurring slightly later in time (Garrard and Byrd, 2013).”

It is uncertain if specific occupation events at Kharaneh IV and Jilat 6 were absolutely contemporaneous owing to the precision of radiocarbon dating results.
“It should be noted that it is uncertain if specific occupation events at Kharaneh IV and Jilat 6 were absolutely contemporaneous owing to the precision of radiocarbon dating results (Garrard and Byrd, 2013;Richter et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
