Identification of the Wood in the Ancient Boat from the Sea of Galilee
The ancient boat of Galilee is built of wooden parts that served different roles in its construction: strakes, frames, keel, tenons and pegs. The boat’s timbers were examined, and 12 plant genera were identified, the two main ones being cedar and oak. All the identified tree species grow in the area, at various distances from the Sea of Galilee, except for cedrus, which was brought from further north. The choice of wood for the boat’s constructio…
Spatial Organization of Hominin Activities at Gesher Benot Ya’aqov, Israel
Home Is Where the Hearth Is One aspect of human intelligence is the ability to organize our living and working spaces. It was generally thought that this capability arose with modern humans in the past 100,000 years or so. However, Alperson-Afil et al. (p. 1677 ) found evidence of domestic organization 800,000 years ago at a Pleistocene hominin campsite in the Jordan Valley. Around patches of burnt debris, the remains of a wide range of plant and…

Wooden objects from Ohalo II (23,000 cal BP), Jordan Valley, Israel
The oldest ever brush hut plant remains from Ohalo II, Jordan Valley, Israel (19,000 BP)
Detailed excavation and analysis of a brush hut from Ohalo II, Jordan Valley, Israel, provides an extraordinary view of camp construction 19,000 years ago. This report offers an important contribution to studies of Palaeolithic camp sites
A Butchered elephant skull and associated artifacts from the Acheulian site of Gesher Benot Ya'Aqov, Israel
Le crâne d'un éléphant à défense droite, Palaeoloxodon antiquus, a été découvert en 1989 à Gesher Benot Ya'aqov, site du Pleistocene moyen, en Israël. Ce crâne étroitement associé à des artefacts en pierre et en bois fait partie intégrante de la composition du sol d'occupation acheuléen. Son emplacement et les dommages qu'il a subis suggèrent des fractures intentionnelles pour l'extraction de la cervelle. Un nucleus en basalte, un bloc de pierre …
Year-Old Twisted Fibers From Ohalo II
New Discoveries at the Middle Pleistocene Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot Ya'aqov, Israel
The Gesher Benot Ya'aqov archaeological site in the northern Dead Sea Rift of Israel contains Acheulian artifacts and middle Pleistocene fossils. Initial results of a new interdisciplinary study have shown that fluviolacustrine sediments of the Benot Ya'aqov Formation, which contains several archaeological occupations, were deposited in an embayment of the Hula Basin. They were subsequently deformed by tectonic activity associated with the Dead S…
