Emergence of the Levantine Upper Paleolithic
Subsistence and Technology in The Late Levantine Upper Paleolithic
NANCY R. COINMAN, Subsistence and Technology in the Late Levantine Upper Paleolithic, Mitekufat Haeven: Journal of the Israel Prehistoric Society / מתקופת האבן, כרך ל"ה (תשס"ו / 2005), pp. 159-177
New Evidence of Ksar Akil Scrapers in the Levantine Upper Paleolithic
Recent investigations in the Wadi al-Hasa region of Jordan have recovered examples of Ksar Akil scrapers, some in well-dated behavioral contexts, providing new insights into their function, as well as evidence that the type is more widely distributed than previously thought and more variable inform

Beyond the Graver
Burins have long been considered to represent a special class of stone tools, used primarily for engraving. A number of studies, however, have indicated that burins functioned in a variety of very different ways. This study finds evidence that burins were used as cutting/scraping tools, engraving tools, hafting elements, and bladelet cores at three late Pleistocene sites in SW Asia. We suggest that burins should not be considered as a class of to…
Worked bone in the Levantine Upper Paleolithic
Artifacts made from bone, antler, and horn cores have been identified at Upper Paleolithic sites in the Levant, but their distribution is associated primarily with Levantine Aurignacian assemblages in rockshelters and caves in the Mediterranean zone of northern Israel and Lebanon. Recent evidence from the southern and eastern regions of the Levant suggests that under certain preservation conditions, it is possible to recover evidence that bone-wo…
The Upper Paleolithic Sites
WHS 618 - Ain El-Buhira
The site of WHS 618 (Ain el-Buhira) in the Wadi Hasa of west-central Jordan represents an excellent example of the Levantine Upper Paleolithic in Jordan and demonstrates a strong association with the late Ahmarian tradition of the southern Levant. Variability in the lithic assemblages from this large site situated on the shores of Pleistocene Lake Hasa suggests at least two major occupations during the terminal Upper Paleolithic at ca. 20,000 b.p…
Aspects of Structure in an Epipaleolithic Occupation Site in West Central Jordan
A 95% sample of lithic debris from Wadi Hasa Survey Site 1065, a radiometrically-dated series of Kebaran and Natufian base camps with midden deposits and structures in the Wadi Hasa (west-central Jordan), is analyzed to evaluate the remaining integrity of a geologically old archaeological surface. Structural and compositional characteristics of the surface array (63,800 pieces) are compared with excavated samples (89,539 pieces). Methods used to …
