- From 5000 to 4500 BC, villages develop in the Jordan Valley. The Chalcolithic is a transition between the Neolithic small villages of and the urban societies of the Bronze Age. The social groups start sharing their activities between the sedentary lifestyle and the nomadic pastoralism. The agriculture expands rapidly and in parallel, the manufacturing of huge storage jars, as those we found in Abu Hamid (left photo).
