Nahal Issaron (Template:Lang-he-n Naẖal Issaron) is a wadi and a neolithic settlement in southern Negev, Israel. It is located at the eastern edge of Biqat Uvda, 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of the Gulf of Elat and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of Arabah Rift valley.[1] Excavations carried out by Avi Gopher and Nigel Goring-Morris in 1980 uncovered remnants of an early pastoralist settlement belong to PPNB (Pre-Pottery Neolithic B) period.
