Late Quaternary Paleoenvironments and Prehistoric Site Distributions in the Lower Jordan Valley : A Preliminary Report

A geo-archeological survey in the Lower Jordan Valley, Israel, revealed the existence of more than forty prehistoric locations in open air context. They provide a continuous record of Upper Paleolithic through Neolithic activity in this part of the Levant over the interval 20,000-6000 BP. The presen...
