El Khiam is an archaeological site near Wadi Khureitun in the Judean desert in Israel, on the shores of the Dead Sea.
Archaeological finds at el-Khiam show nearly continuous habitation by groups of hunters since the Mesolithic and early Neolithic periods.[1] The Khiamian (c. 10000-9500 BC.) period, named for this site, is characterized by flint arrowheads now known as "El Khiam Points."[2]
El Khiam was first excavated by R. Neuville in 1934 and again by André Parrot in 1951.
