Abstract

The Neolithic settlement of Merimde Beni Salama is unique in providing the earliest evidence for a built Neolithic settlement in North Africa. Previous excavations at Merimde Beni Salama from the 1930s until the 1990s have successfully provided evidence of domestic structures, a mixed economy of domesticated species, hunting, and fishing, and a great deal of artefactual evidence. Recent investigations at Merimde Beni Salama have started to yield new data that contributes to a reassessment of how the settlement changed during the period of use, the spatial extent of the settlement, and the settlement’s chronology.
