Ain Mallaha

Ain Mallaha, also known as Negatively, is an archaeological site in Israel dating back to around 10,000 years ago during the Natufian period. It features one of the earliest known permanent settlements, with round houses built from stones and mud. The site provides valuable insights into early human community life, including social organization and the beginnings of domesticating plants and animals. Its well-preserved remains help researchers understand the transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled agricultural societies during the transition to the Neolithic.
