The archaeological site of Kamid Loz I is located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north-east of the village of Kamid el-Loz and 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) north-northeast of Joub Jannine.

Heavy Neolithic flints from this culture collected here included scrapers, picks and axes along with a large amount of debris.[8][9]
