By the village is a Neolithic archaeological site East of Majdel Balhis near Rashaya in the Beqaa Valley, Lebanon.

[1] The rock shelter site lies amongst fields covered with basalt boulders from ancient lava flows.

[2][3] Artefacts found on the surface included flint axes, sickles, obsidian, basalt vessels and arrowheads dated to the oldest Neolithic periods.

Prominent artefacts found included a series of flint picks with heavily worn points due to extremely heavy usage.

Fragments of agricultural tools such as basalt hoes have been found with very slight dating suggesting the 6th millennium or earlier.
