Abstract
Iktanu is a large double site in the southeast Jordan Valley occupied, with long periods of abadonment, during the late fourth/early third, the late third, and the first millennia BC. Excavation focussed on archaeological assemblages and chronology, and the complex evidence for the establishment, nature, scale, wider relationships and abandonment of settlement in each period, from small agro-pastoral village, to a larger scale, possibly transhumant population, to a Persian period fort, in a hinterland impacted by the convergence of diverse geological and geographical zones.
This chapter focuses on the charcoal found at both sites and its significance.
