The opening as it read in 2010

Ain Mallaha was a Natufian settlement built and settled circa 10,000–8,000 BCE .1 The site is located in Northern Israel, and is in an area surrounded by hills and located by an ancient lake, Lake Huleh . At the time of its inhabitance, the area was heavily forested in oak, almond, and pistachio trees. The inhabitants are known to have eaten gazelle, fallow deer, wild boar, red and roe deer, hare, tortoise, reptiles, and fish. Also known as Eynan (Hebrew) or Mallaha (Arabic), this Natufian village was colonized in three phases. The first two phases had massive stone-built structures with smaller ones in the third phase. The phases occurred from 12,000 to 9600 BCE. This archeological site contains the earliest known archeological evidence of dog domestication: a burial of a human being with a domestic dog. Evidence for the domestication of the dog 12,000 years ago in the Natufian of Israel.2
