Pleistocene sites in southern Yemen
In the autumn months of 1992 a small team conducted an archaeological survey in southwest Yemen in search of Pleistocene sites dating back to the early colonisation of the Arabian peninsula. The survey focused on those escarpments and terraces with exposed Pleistocene sediments. The team discovered thirty‐seven sites, most of them multicomponent, with sixteen having a pebble‐tool industry called Mode 1 and twenty‐seven with a bifacial industry ca…
The Excavations in Kebara Cave, Mt. Carmel [and Comments and Replies]
This paper summarizes the results of recent excavations (1982-90) at the Middle Paleolithic site of Kebara Cave. Work at the cave by earlier excavators is also discussed. Although analysis of the Kebara materials is still far from completed, an overview of the current stage of the investigations includes (1) a synthesis of the site's complex stratigraphy and dating; (2) a description of the spatial patterning of hearths, ash lenses, and bone and …
Archaeological Survey in Southwest Yemen, 1990
In the summer of 1990 a research team surveyed a series of alluvial fans in southwest Yemen for Lower Pleistocene sites related to the earliest human migration from Africa into Asia. The team found thirty sites and collected 2 381 artefacts of Middle and Upper Pleistocene age. Most sites were multicomponent with artefacts of different time periods widely scattered on the surface. The oldest sites were Middle Acheulean, which was widespread and ap…

Cochise Site Distribution in the San Pedro Valley
Detailed survey of a 100 square mile area on the west side of the San Pedro valley south of Benson has revealed over 80 Cochise sites on terraces and pediments above the floodplains. Two gross categories of artifacts from 12 of those sites show a patterned distribution spatially segregated into two zones, and suggest that higher elevations near the mountains were preferred sites for prehistoric occupation
Agriculture and the Cochise
Maize entered the Southwest during the Chiricahua stage of the Cochise culture about 2000 B.C. but it did not become widespread until a century or two before the time of Christ. This paper examines the circumstances leading to the acceptance and proliferation of maize agriculture by the San Pedro Cochise and its effects on other aspects of their culture, culminating in their transformation into early Mogollon
