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-working technologies probably were more extensive during the Upper Paleolithic than previously described. Two rare examples from the Ahmarian site of Ain el-Buhira (WHS 618) in Jordan are described
