Archaeologists have found ruins of settlements dating back to the [[Neolithic|Neolithic Age]]. Moreover, in August 2015, an archaeological excavation team from the [[University of Jordan]] unearthed two human skulls that date back to the [[Neolithic|Neolithic period]] (7500–5500 BC) at a site in Jerash. This forms solid evidence of inhabitance of Jordan in that period, especially in connection with the existence of [[Ayn Ghazal (archaeological site)|'Ain Ghazal]] Neolithic settlement in [[Amman]]. The importance of the discovery lies in the rarity of the skulls, as archaeologists estimate that a maximum of 12 sites across the world contain similar human remains.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/two-human-skulls-dating-back-neolithic-period-unearthed-jerash#sthash.azr7NUTn.dpuf|title=Two human skulls dating back to Neolithic period unearthed in Jerash|date=15 August 2015|access-date=24 November 2016}}</ref>
