ABSTRACT

Archaeological site complex in the Anti-Lebanon Mountains of Syria near Nebek consisting of four rockshelters ranging in age from late Middle Pleistocene (Shelter IV) with a Tayacian industry to Neolithic (Shelter III). A long sequence in Shelter I contains a Pre-Aurignacian blade industry in the midst of Early and Middle Paleolithic levels; Shelter II materials were grouped as Aurignacian or Upper Paleolithic; and Shelter III preserves traces of the transition from Upper Paleolithic to Mesolithic.
