The site of the day is a Natufian site, Wadi Hammeh 27, in Jordan. Archaeologists commonly use a number after a site name when there are a bunch of archaeological sites in very close proximity, in this case, near where the mouth of the dry wash called Wadi Hammeh joins the Jordan valley.

The Natufian is a pretty interesting time period in the Levant during human history; at between 12,000 and 10,000 years ago, it's when our hunter-gatherer ancestors were very skilled at making a living off the land, learning all about the different kinds of plants and animals we were later to domesticate.
