Abstract
Gopher and Goring-Morris excavated the PPNB occupation at Abu Salem which mainly consists of closely spaced oval structures that may or may not have been dwellings. Mainly groundstone artifacts and projectile points were recovered. They indicate sporadic summer occupation by a small group of hunter-gatherers.
