The vertebrate fauna from the Natufian level at Jebel es-Saaïdé (Saaïdé II), Lebanon
Vertebrate remains recovered from preliminary test trenching and pits in a Natufian habitation site named Saaïdé II, on the edge of Jebel es-Saaïdé, about 800 m northwest of Saaïdé, on the eastern slope of the Lebanon Mountains, indicate a mixed forest and savanna assemblage with some open water.
