There are three radiocarbon dates of the Neolithic site of Ba'ja (Bienert, Gebel 1997; Gebel, Hermansen 1999, 2001, 2004; Gebel et al. 2006; Gebel, Kinzel 2007). They were taken from a small test trench at the beginning of the 1997 excavation. Two later dates, Bln 5035: 6990-6650 BC and Bln 5036: 6820-6650 BC, provide dates ante quem for the occupation of the site, as the samples come from later deposits. Bln 5123: 7130-7045 BC is from a late occupation phase; but the older layers of Ba'ja have not yet been radiocarbon dated. According to the material remains, Ba'ja should be dated between 7500 BC and 6900 BC (pers. comm. Gebel 2009).
