This paper presents the results of two recent excavations conducted at Nahal Betzet II and Ard el Samra, in the Akko Plain. Both excavations revealed stratigraphical sequences dated to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B, Pottery Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic periods. Significant is the discovery of the Pottery Neolithic occupations attributed to the Yarmukian culture which were unknown in this region prior to the excavations. The major characteristics of the material culture are presented, emphasizing on the cultural developments at both sites. Furthermore the settlement patterns during these periods in the region, complemented with information from surveys and old researches are discussed.
