  • New perspectives on lithic technology and subsistence strategies at the middle palaeolithic site of Ras el-Kelb, Lebanon

    Open AccessMarya Soubra, Y H Hilbert et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2026

    The Middle Palaeolithic of the Central Levant remains a topic of ongoing debates concerning cultural variability, technological traditions, and hominin occupations. One crucial site that adds to the discussion is Ras el-Kelb, a geographically strategic site located between the Lebanese coastal cliffs and the historic Nahr el-Kelb valley. While the site was excavated in the 1950s by Dorothy Garrod and Germaine Henri-Martin, it remains understudied…

  • The origins of nomadic pastoralism in the eastern Jordanian steppe

    Holly Miller, Douglas Baird et al.ARTICLELevant2018

    The circumstances in which domestic animals were first introduced to the arid regions of the southern Levant and the origins of nomadic pastoralism have been the subject of considerable debate. Nomadic pastoralism was a novel herd management practice with implications for the economic, social and cultural development of Neolithic communities inhabiting steppe and early village environs. Combining faunal stable isotope and chipped stone analyses f…

  • Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic gazelle hunting in the Badia of north-east Jordan. Reconstruction of seasonal movements of herds by stable isotope and dental microwear analyses

    Elizabeth Henton, Joe Roe et al.ARTICLELevant2018

    In the north-east Jordan steppe, gazelle were of considerable economic importance to human groups during the Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic. An influential model argues that gazelle herds migrated through the region and were only seasonally available to hunters. This study tests that model, asking whether gazelle were indeed highly seasonally mobile during these time frames, or whether they could have remained more local, adapted to periodically r…

  • Epipalaeolithic and Pre-Pottery Neolithic burials from the north Lebanese highlands in their regional context

    Andrew Garrard, Yvonne Edwards et al.ARTICLELevant2018

    Archaeological human remains and their funerary contexts provide valuable insights into social and ideological lives as well as the origins, health and activities of past communities. In the southern Levant extensive cemeteries from the Late Epipalaeolithic (Natufian) and Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) have been recognized, although burials from earlier periods are sparse. Elsewhere in the Levant the record from the whole Epipalaeolithic is poor. Ex…

  • Hunting and trapping strategies in the coastal mountains of northern Lebanon during the Epipalaeolithic

    Yvonne Edwards, Yvonne H Edwards et al.ARTICLELevant2017

    Relative to other regions of the Levant, our knowledge of the adaptations of Epipalaeolithic hunter-gatherers to the late Pleistocene environments of the coastal mountains of the central and northern Levant are extremely limited. However, recently excavations at two adjacent caves at Moghr el-Ahwal in the Qadisha Valley of northern Lebanon have provided a rich record, particularly of hunting and trapping strategies from the period following the L…

  • The Seasonal Mobility of Prehistoric Gazelle Herds in the Azraq Basin, Jordan

    Elizabeth Henton, Isabelle Ruben et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2017Citada por: 4Referências: 17

    The hunting of Gazella subgutturosa was a dominant practice for Epipalaeolithic and early Neolithic hunter–gatherers in the east Jordan steppe. The seasonal mobility of this taxon in the Levant is poorly understood, especially for early prehistory when herd movements would have influenced hunter-gatherer use of the steppes. This paper proposes four patterns of seasonal herd mobility for G. subgutturosa centred on Jordan’s Azraq Basin. The four pa…

  • Faunal turnover in the Azraq Basin, eastern Jordan 28,000 to 9000 cal yr BP, signalling climate change and human impact

    Open AccessLouise Martins, Louise Martin et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2016

    Recent zooarchaeological analyses of game exploitation in the Epipalaeolithic of the Southern Levant identify a decline in large game in the Natufian, with corresponding increase in small prey, interpreted as hunting pressure driven by population expansion. To date, studies focus on the Mediterranean zone. This paper adopts similar approaches to examine Epipalaeolithic to Neolithic faunal data from 16 sites in the steppic Jordanian Azraq Basin. R…

  • Broad spectrum or specialised activity? Birds and tortoises at the Epipalaeolithic site of Wadi Jilat 22 in the eastern Jordan steppe

    Open AccessLouise Martins, Yvonne Edwards et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2013Citada por: 16Referências: 26

    The analysis of rich bone assemblages from an Epipalaeolithic site in Jordan show that wing feathers were being extracted, probably for ornamental or ceremonial purposes, from eagles and buzzards. These raptors were perhaps caught by luring them with tortoises, evident from smashed shells in the same assemblage. The authors speculate on the symbolic value of eagles' wings among these pre-Neolithic people

  • Palaeolithic research at the Institute of Archaeology

    Open AccessAndrew Garrard, Norah Moloney et al.ARTICLEArchaeology International2012

    Since its foundation in 1937, the Institute of Archaeology has been an important centre of research on Pleistocene environments and Palaeolithic archaeology. Frederick Zeuner (loA: 1937-1963) was greatly respected for his teaching and research on the subject, including his 1945 publication The Pleistocene period and John Waechter (loA: 1954-1978) for his Palaeolithic excavations at Gorham's Cave in Gibraltar and Swanscombe in the Thames Valley.

  • Interaction before Agriculture

    Open AccessTobias Richter, Andrew Garrard et al.ARTICLECambridge Archaeological Journal2011Citada por: 20

    This article discusses social interaction in the Epipalaeolithic of southwest Asia. Discussions of contact, social relationships and social organization have primarily focused on the Pre-Pottery Neolithic and are often considered to represent typical hallmarks of emergent farming societies. The hunter-gatherers of the final Pleistocene, in particular those of the Early and Middle Epipalaeolithic, have more rarely been the focus of such discussion…

  • Hunting Practices at an Eastern Jordanian Epipalaeolithic Aggregation Site

    Louise Martins, Yvonne Edwards et al.ARTICLELevant2010

    Two Epipalaeolithic sites, Kharaneh IV and Wadi Jilat 6 in the Azraq basin of eastern Jordan, are much larger than any others of the same period. They are locations to which hunters/gatherers/foragers returned across thousands of years. This paper explores human settlement and mobility patterns at these unusual sites through the perspective of animal resources. The predominant prey were gazelle but with no evidence for specialized targeting, rath…

  • Stone Bead Technologies and Early Craft Specialization

    Katherine Wright, Katherine I Wright et al.ARTICLELevant2008

    What social groups were involved in Neolithic craft production? What was the nature of early forms of craft specialization, long before urban economies evolved? One way to look at this is to investigate manufacture of Neolithic prestige goods. Seasonal camps in Wadi Jilat (eastern Jordan) revealed unusually detailed evidence for manufacture of stone beads: debris, blanks, finished beads, and tools for drilling, sawing and abrasion. The material i…

    From their research in Jordan, the authors show that the appearance of early farming and herding communities in western Asia coincided with a large expansion in stone bead production. This reflects a new social role for personal ornament

  • Charting the Emergence of Cereal and Pulse Domestication in South-west Asia

    During the last decade, considerable advances have been made in our knowledge of the origins of cereal and pulse domestication in south-west Asia. Archaeobotanical assemblages have become available from hitherto poorly known regions and time periods, and new methodologies and interpretative approaches have allowed the reevaluation of older collections. Our understanding of the environmental and cultural context of the domestication process is als…

  • Animal domestication in the Southern Levant

    L K Horwitz, Eitan Tchernov et al.ARTICLEPaléorient1999Citada por: 76Referências: 2

    In this paper seven researchers working in the southern Levant present their views as well as new data on the origins of domestic animals in this region. The papers cover the chronological development of this phenomenon, from the first sedentary communities in the Natufian, to the advent of the first domestic caprines in the Mid/Late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B. In addition, the domestication of cattle and pig in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic С is discus…
