This book presents a revised chronology for the Late Chalcolithic period in Western Syria. The new sequence of ceramics excavated in Tell Afis (Area E1) 1991-2000, a detailed revision of the partly contemporary corpus from Hama (periods M and L), and an overview of other pertinent sites, like Ras Shamra, sites in the Amuq valley, and Mersin-Yumuktepe, combine to suggest a more advanced, if still provisional, panorama of cultural developments in the Northern Levant in the 5th-4th Mill. BC. The volume, which is a revised version of the author's doctoral thesis, contains thorough analyses of the LC ceramic corpora from Tell Afis and Hama, presented in more than 100 plates and figures.
