Although no such sites reported to date from other surveys in the Negev, Sinai and southern Jordan, these cult sites are not unique to the southern Negev. The sites and their content add new dimensions to our understanding of the Early and Late Neolithic periods in the Levantine deserts. The paper describes the sites and offers some interpretation of their features.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2-Anthropomorphic-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2-Anthropomorphic-copy.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adssc.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/2-Anthropomorphic-copy-300x148.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Avner, U., M.
