Résumé En Fr

Outside of the Jordan Valley, the Early Bronze Age II of northern Jordan remains largely uninvestigated, though surveys have identified EB II sites throughout the region. Surface collections and test excavations at Tell es-Sukhne North in the central Zarqa Basin provide evidence of settlement and economic organization at a multi-component EB II site : identified extensive architectural remains, significant lithic and ceramic materials, including a cylinder seal impression. This paper presents an overview of the archaeological research at Tell es-Sukhne North within a general discussion of known Early Bronze Age II sites along the semi-arid ecotone of the central Zarqa Basin.

Hors de la Vallée du Jourdain, les recherches approfondies en Jordanie septentrionale sur le Bronze Ancien II sont encore rares; les prospections au Nord de la Jordanie ont toutefois permis d'identifier dans toute la région des gisements de cette période. Prospections, sondages, étude géoarchéologique ont apporté des éléments sur l'organisation d'un établissement et l'économie d'un site du B. A. II dans le bassin du haut Zarqa.
