ISRAEL - The Neolithic of the Levant

The Neolithic of the Levant 

A.M.T. Moore (1978-Oxford University)

Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

This doctoral thesis is an excellent textbook on the Prehistoric Near East
especially since much of the history that we know of the area up to and
including the Neolithic occurred in the Levant. I think you will find also
that the time frame of this book agrees with current sources .....
