Shir (German transcription according to the German Oriental Society (): Šīr/Arabic: ''شير'') is a Late Neolithic site in western Syria, located 12 km northwest of Hama, capital of the province by the same name. The settlement of Shir is situated upon a 30-m high terrace formation above the Nahr as-Sārūt, a tributary of the Orontes River (Arabic: Nahr al-‛Asi). ==History of Research== The settlement of Shir was discovered in 2005 during a local survey in the central Orontes area〔Bartl, al-Maqdissi 2007.〕 and archaeologically investigated from 2006 to 2010 within the framework of a cooperation project by the Damascus Branch of the Orient Department of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and the Direction Générale des Antiquités et des Musées de la Syrie.〔Bartl, Farzat, el-Hafian 2012; Bartl, Haidar, Nieuwenhuyse 2008; Bartl, Hijazi, Ramadan 2009; Bartl, Ramadan 2008; Bartl, Ramadan, el-Hafian 2010, 2011.〕 The natural conditions of the central Orontes characterise the region as one of the favourable areas in the Near East, which must have played a decisive role during the process of Neolithisation (Neolithisation: the transition from economical forms marked by hunting/gathering nomadic way of life to food producing sedentism, which occurred between 10,000 and 7000 B.C.). Comparatively few Neolithic sites are known in this region thus far.
