Two extended seasons of excavations were recently conducted at the site of Yiftahel (Khalet Khalladyiah) in the fringe of Beit Netofa valley, Lower Galilee. Four new areas (F, G, H and I) were opened in addition to the five areas excavated in the past. This note will present the highlights from the main occupational period at Yiftahel, i. e., the Mid-Late PPNB (8,000-7,000 BC). Large PPNB buildings, displaying rectilinear plan with mud-brick and/ or stone walls, were discovered in the recent seasons of excavations. All buildings have thick lime-plastered floors. Aside from plentiful lithic assemblages related to the “naviform” industry, rich botanical and faunal remains were found at the site. The most outstanding fi nds are related to the mortuary practices, including three modeled plastered skulls.
