Prehistoric Settlement in West-Central Jordan: The Tafīla-Busayra Archaeological Survey in Its Regional Context
Regional surveys in the Levant have led to the formulation of settlement models intended to represent how Palaeolithic foragers adapted to their local landscapes. A common critique of these models is their lack of fit with data from other regions. This is particularly the case for the inland regions of the Levant where lacustrine environments dotted the landscape during the Upper Pleistocene. The Tafila-Busayra Archaeological Survey investigated …
Going Microlithic: A Levantine Perspective on the Adoption of Microlithic Technologies
The shift to microlithic technologies is a widespread phenomenon over much of the globe during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. The occurrence of microliths in diverse geographical and temporal settings is a testament to their versatility and importance as a solution to the problems of survival. Using a perspective based on evolutionary theory, the adoption of microliths in the Levant is viewed from both a long-term, regional perspective …
Investigations at Tor al-Tareeq: An Epipaleolithic Site in the Wadi el-Hasa, Jordan
The Epipaleolithic site of Tor al-Tareeq (WHS 1065) was discovered in 1982 by Burton MacDonald's Wadi Hasa Survey in west-central Jordan, surface collected and tested in 1984, and partially excavated in 1992. The earliest and best represented occupation is an early Epipaleolithic industry, overlain in places by an ephemeral geometric industry identified by a higher incidence of geometric microliths. Six radiocarbon determinations span the period …

Pattern in the Epipalaeolithic of the Levant: Debate after Neeley & Barton
The ANTIQUITY paper by Neeley & Barton (1994) - hereafter 'N&B'- prompted responses published in the June number last year: Fellner (1995) and Kaufman (1995). Here are more (all shorter than the full versions received), together with a response from Barton & Neeley (B&N) that rounds off the present discussion. The debaters have seen others' contributions, so there is some cross-comment within them. The questions and the issues are old fundamental…
Phantom cultures of the Levantine Epipaleolithic
We thank those whose interest in the Levantine Epipalaeolithic has led them to comment on our research. Such public discussion of differing interpretations is vital to understanding the past. In this article, we briefly respond to some of the points raised by those writing in this issue (G.A. Clark, N. Goring-Morris, D.O. Henry and J.L. Phillips) and in a previous issue (Fellner 1995; Kaufman 1995) of ANTIQUITY
A new approach to interpreting late Pleistocene microlith industries in southwest Asia
Archaeologists have long assumed that morphological variability in microliths primarily reflects cultural differences among the makers. This forms the basis for differentiating major cultural/temporal traditions in the late Epipalaeolithic of southwest Asia. An alternative explanation for morphological variability is proposed which emphasizes the dynamic aspects of lithic technology in hunter-gatherer societies and questions current explanations …
The Human Food Niche in the Levant Over the Past 150,000 Years
Archaeologists have tended to accept Flannery's (1969) broad spectrum revolution (BSR) as a general phase in an evolutionary sequence of subsistence changes leading to the appearance of domestication economies. Previous partial tests of the Flannery model in both hemispheres have tended to support it, especially those aspects of it that predict increasing subsistence diversity over time and increases in the relative intensity of food procurement.…
