A series of short successive occupations were revealed at the new Middle Paleolithic site of Emanuel Cave. A date of 191± 1 Ka (U/ Th) is suggested as a terminus post quem for the archaeological deposits. Despite the ephemeral nature of the site, the lithic assemblage displays two distinct facies ; the lower layers with a predominantly laminar nature and the upper layers, reflecting more use of the Levallois technology. Techno-typological comparison of the lower layers with other Levantine assemblages position it within the early Middle Paleolithic technological tradition as seen at Hayonim lower E and F and Hummal 6b. Thus implying a wider range of technological variability than suggested by the Tabun “ cultural” classification commonly used to defi ne the Middle Paleolithic of the Levant
