In this volume a series of colleagues and friends pay tribute to the scholarship of Olivier Nieuwenhuyse, who died much too young, and present a series of studies on the archaeology of Late Neolithic societies in West Asia. The volume includes a reflection on Olivier’s career in archaeology. There are chapters on the key site of Tell Sabi Abyad, on which Olivier worked for many years, dealing with its buildings, its funerary practices, and the use of bitumen at the site. The next section on the book focusses on the analysis of tokens, figurines, and ornaments, of various sites dating to the Late Neolithic in West Asia. Following this there are studies on the emergence of pottery in West Asia, the use of ceramic ‘husking trays’, and the design rules in various prehistoric pottery traditions. Finally, the last chapter presents new data on prehistoric Palmyra.
