About
The archaeological sites around Hermel in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley are notable for their prehistoric and Bronze Age features. The area is rich in dolmens and tumuli, particularly those associated with the Shepherd Neolithic industry, as identified by Henri Fleisch. The presence of small stone tools and flint materials further underscores the site's significance in understanding early human occupation and tool-making practices. Pottery found at the site has been dated to the Early Bronze Age, providing insights into the funerary practices of the time. These archaeological findings not only highlight the region's prehistoric human activities but also offer an understanding of cultural and technological developments during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
