Excavations in the Ghassulian Chalcolithic cemetery of Palmaḥim (north) have transformed our understanding of burial customs and social complexity during this period in the southern Levant. These exceptional finds have previously been taken as evidence for the breakdown of a strongly north-south territorial division within the region in terms of the form of burial and the reconstructed variation that was associated with these funerary practices. This paper describes more recently uncovered finds from the Palmaḥim (north) cemetery, some documented for the first time, adding considerably to current knowledge regarding variation in burial forms of the Ghassulian Chalcolithic and shedding further light on the question of human migration and evolving social complexity toward the end of the Chalcolithic period
