The name Kamed Al-Lawz comes from the Aramaic language, meaning “wilted almonds.” This town has played a prominent role through the various ages (Pharaonic, Bronze, Iron and Roman) and has been a major German archeological excavation site for a long time. Work in the area has unearthed evidence of an ancient Phoenician city, which helped trace the beginning of Phoenician settlement in the Beqa'a area as earlier that the coastal area. The town is also the site of Phoenician caves, sarcophagi and earthenware reliefs with inscriptions in the first Phoenician alphabet. Just outside Kamed Al-Lawz is a large Umayyad quarry visible from the road. Rock-cut tombs can be seen here, as well as Aramic inscriptions. The quarry provided stones for the 8th Century city of A'anjar and was worked by Nestorian Christians from Iraq who were brought to the Beqa'a for this purpose. 68 69
