About
Dahr Al-Ahmar, a village in Lebanon, is known for its archaeological significance due to the discovery of Neolithic flint tools. Located north of the village, these tools include large axes, scrapers, and sickle blades with fine denticulation. The site is contemporary with the earliest Neolithic levels at Byblos, making it an important location for understanding early human settlement and tool-making practices in the region. This discovery, attributed to Jacques and Marie-Claire Cauvin, provides insights into the tool technology and lifestyle of early Neolithic communities. The village itself is also notable for its Druze population and the shrine of Sitt Sarah, adding cultural and historical depth to its archaeological context.
