Deformation Layer 6 at Nahal Darga occurs in unit 7 well above the cluster of Deformation Layers 3–5 and is dated by Enzel et al. (2000) to ca. 6050-5050 BCE (ca. 7000-8000 yr B.P.). The deformed bed is ~0-60 cm thick and consists of fine sand and silt deposited in a near-shore fan-delta environment. Deformation features include load casts and ball-and-pillow structures within an intensely deformed layer. The features were interpreted as due to earthquake-induced liquefaction rather than loading or depositional processes. In contrast to the closely spaced cluster of Layers 3–5, Deformation Layer 6 is separated stratigraphically by similar but undeformed sediment. Dating is based on radiocarbon dating and stratigraphic correlation within the fan-delta sequence; Bayesian modeling was not used in the age determinations.
