In 1838, Eli Smith noted Kamid el-Lauz as a Sunni Muslim village in the Beqaa Valley.

[4] Probably the most important finds were documents written in cuneiform script on clay tablets dated to the 14th century BC.

[5] The village of Kamed el-Loz lies on top of settlements built in the Achaemenid, Hellenistic and Roman periods.

The quarry provided stones for the eighth-century city of Anjar and was worked by Eastern Christians from Iraq who were brought to the Beqaa for this purpose.

Heavy Neolithic flints from this culture collected here included scrapers, picks and axes along with a large amount of debris.
