'''Jarmo''' (Qal'at{{lang-ku|چەرمۆ|Çermo}} Jarmo)or ({{lang-|ku|Qelay Çermo}}, also ''Qal'at Jarmo'') is a prehistoric [[archeological site]] located in modern [[Iraqi Kurdistan]] on the foothills of the [[Zagros Mountains]]. It lies at an altitude of 800 m above sea-level in a belt of [[oak]] and [[pistachio]] woodlands in the [[ʿAdhaim|Adhaim River]] watershed. Excavations revealed that Jarmo was an [[agriculture|agricultural]] community dating back to 7090 BC. It was broadly contemporary with such other important [[Neolithic]] sites such as [[Jericho]] in the [[Southern Levant]] and [[Çatalhöyük]] in [[Anatolia]].
