Gilgal I

West Bank, Palestine

Gilgal I is an archaeological site in the Jordan Valley, West Bank, dated to the early Neolithic period. The site is located 8 mi (13 km) north of ancient Jericho. The features and artifacts unearthed at Gilgal I shed important light on agriculture in the Levant. The by far oldest domesticated figs found anywhere in the world were recovered from an incinerated house at the site, and have been described as coming from cultivated, as opposed to wild, fig trees.
