The American Schools of Oriental Research excavations at Tell Qarqur provide a major challenge for participating archaeologists. Natural and human disruption forces consistent patience to piece together a complicated puzzle of more than 7,500 years. Collections of Early Bronze IV, Iron Age I, and Iron Age II materials are significant, but good Middle Bronze Age, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Middle Islamic, and early Mamluk materials have also been excavated. Promise of much more has been found, suggesting a sequence from Early Bronze III back to the Neolithic and hints of documentation for critical periods such as Middle Bronze I and Late Bronze II. The expedition works to place Tell Qarqur in its regional context, focusing particularly on paleobotanical and paleozoological materials. Recent efforts in using geophysical prospection provide a more complete understanding of the site. This first of two articles examines the Islamic through Iron I finds from Tell Qarqur
