Archeology 201 Guidelines
If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.
Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?
Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.
Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

neat.
Whenever they find things like this I wonder what happened there. I mean, people don't just leave houses and villages intact and go away, especially leaving their tools and things behind. Normally old structures are torn down and new things are built on the remains, and so on. So when they dig up a village, it makes me wonder if something happened there, like a disaster, or a war, or famine, that cause the buildings to be abandoned and tools and items left behind.

We tend to look at the last century with wars that cost millions of lives and tend to think it is the most violent period ever but the fact is that a person was considerably more likely to die a violent death in ancient times than today.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Actually, this ancient village was under an existing developed area. Over time there was not any concern for older buildings, and they were simply abandoned or built over. This has happened many times over the millennia. Of course, wars and conflicts often destroy villages, towns and cities, and later settlements are built over old ones or moved. In the Middle East abandoned villages, settlements and cities are common. For many ancient settlements and cities, Climate change resulting in reduced rainfall and the increase in deserts and arid regions, and these were abandoned.
