Three archaeological sites were found in the Jdeideh area by Jesuit fathers. Two of these featured finds of Heavy Neolithic flints of the Qaraoun culture.
Jdeideh I is 750 metres (2,460 ft) northeast of the town on the left bank of the Nahr Mout, in fields on a 15 metres (49 ft) contour. It was discovered by Raoul Describes who retrieved knapped tools from several periods including Acheulean, Middle Paleolithic, Upper Paleolithic and Heavy Neolithic. This material is in the Saint Joseph University, Museum of Lebanese Prehistory.[3]
Jdeideh II is 500 metres (1,600 ft) northeast of Tuillerie Medawer (east of Haret ech Cheikh) on low foothills to the left of a descending stream running next to the Aamariyeh road. An Upper Paleolithic assemblage in brown Cretaceous flint was found by Auguste Bergy including a variety of scrapers including a specialist variety also found at Ain Cheikh that were termed Grattoirs de côté.[3]
Jdeideh III is on a wooded hilltop north northwest of Aamariyeh on the southwest slopes that was also found by Bergy. He recovered a Qaraoun culture type, Gigantolithic assemblage of massive choppers, scrapers on flakes and coarse picks.[3]
