The Beersheba Culture is a name given to a Late Chalcolithic culture from the end of the 5th millennium BC (c-4200 BC to c-4000 BC) that was discovered in several sites in the Beersheba Valley, north Negev, in the 1950s. It is considered to be a phase of the Ghassulian Culture. Its main sites are Bir Abu Matar, Bir Tzafad and Bir Safadi.
