The Natufian Culture
Unique in the evolution of human societies in the Near East, the Natufian culture was a
threshold to the Early Neolithic. Although probably still hunter-gatherers
between 12,400 and 10,200 B.P., their steps toward a sedentary way of life has
led researchers to postulate early villages. This set
emphasizes the architecture as well as
domestic and ritual artifacts.
