Introduction
1During the last 18 years, Sapienza University of Rome has carried out excavations in Palestine at the key-site of Tell es-Sultan, ancient Jericho (Nigro 2016a), famous in archaeology since the epic work of Dame Kathleen M.

We have also excavated in the Jordanian highlands at the top-hill of Khirbet al-Batrawy (Nigro 2006a ; 2008 ; 2009a ; 2010a ; 2010b ; 2012a ; 2012b ; 2013a ; 2013b ; 2016b ; 2016c). Both Tell es-Sultan and Khirbet al-Batrawy grew as fortified cities during the first urban floruit of the Southern Levant in the Early Bronze Age - between the end of the 4th and the second half of the 3rd millennium B
