During the joint excavations carried on from 1929 to 1934 by the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem and the American School of Prehistoric Research in the caves of the Wady el-Mughara in Mount Carmel, many burials were found in the Natufian (Mesolithic) deposit of the big cave known as the Mugharet el-Wad. In addition to scattered human fragments, there were forty-four skeletons in varying stages of preservation, of which thirteen were found inside the cave, and the rest in the terracedeposit in front of the cave-mouth. Of these burials thirty-four belong to the Lower Natufian stage, three to the Upper Natufian, and the rest, although undoubtedly Natufian, cannot, owing to the condition of the deposit, be assigned with certainty to one stage or the other
