The Levantine Megalithic Building Techniques: A Groundbreaking Method Applied to Menjez's Monuments (Akkar, Lebanon) from the 4th-3rd Millennium BCE.

The aim of this paper is to present the methodology used to study the megalithic architecture of Menjez's monuments (Akkar, Lebanon), as part of the MEG-A Project - "First megalith builders in the northern Levant" (2022-2025). Twenty-four monuments have been investigated since 2018. The primary objective is to pioneer a comprehensive understanding of the unique Levantine megalithic building techniques and re-establish the "chaînes opératoires," by determining the builders' sequence of actions.
