Abu Hureyra consisted of two settlements: a Paleolithic hunter-gatherer village beneath a later farming town.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by Wikipedia, Amusing Planet, and original excavation reports. Minor terminological nuance: earlier phase is technically 'Epipaleolithic' not strictly 'Paleolithic', a common simplification in popular sources.
