====Pre-Pottery Neolithic C====
{{main|Pre-Pottery Neolithic C}}
Work at the site of [[Ayn Ghazal (archaeological site)|'Ain Ghazal]] in [[Jordan]] has indicated a later [[Pre-Pottery Neolithic C]] period. [[Juris Zarins]] has proposed that a Circum Arabian Nomadic Pastoral Complex developed in the period from the climatic crisis of 6200 BC, partly as a result of an increasing emphasis in PPNB cultures upon domesticated animals, and a fusion with [[Harifian]] hunter gatherers in the Southern Levant, with affiliate connections with the cultures of [[Fayyum]] and the [[Eastern Desert]] of [[Egypt]]. Cultures practicing this lifestyle spread down the [[Red Sea]] shoreline and moved east from [[Syria]] into southern [[Iraq]].<ref>Zarins, Juris (1992) "Pastoral Nomadism in Arabia: Ethnoarchaeology and the Archaeological Record", in [[Ofer Bar-Yosef]] and A.
