Abstract
This article describes small stations of the Chalcolithic period from the Nahal Sekher area, South of Ramat Hovav. This part of Nahal Sekher is covered by sands and is therefore greener than its surroundings. The stations consist of small ash-pits with few fragments of Chalcolithic pottery — bowls, jars and cornets — and flint artifacts. The stations are interpreted as encampments of herders coming from larger sites to exploit the greener pastures of the sandy area.Keywords
