A fact from Neba'a Faour appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 March 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that a precursor to clay pottery found at Neba'a Faour in the Bekaa Valley was made with a type of lime plaster mixed with grey ashes, which turned into a hardened, white material resembling limestone when fired?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/March.

More specific[edit]

Heavy tools were rare for Lebanon, with only two hand axes recovered.

"were rare" is confusing. I have no idea what meaning is intended. Does this meaning that "heavy tools of this date are rarely found in Lebanon with only two.....at this site "? Or does it mean "Lebanese sites of this date usually reveal heavy tools, but only two were recovered at this site"? Please clarify! Amandajm (talk) 23:35, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that wasn't very clear was it. I've made it so with your own words. Paul Bedson (talk) 03:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
