This paper presents new results of a lithic study of two distinct lithic assemblages from the Qesem Cave “Shelf” area in the northwestern part of the cave – one Yabrudian and one Amudian, both older than 300ka. The two assemblages exhibit clear stratigraphic relations, the Yabrudian being deposited on top of the Amudian. A detailed techno-typological study of the two assemblages (n = ∼30,000 artifacts)...

The cave reveals a suite of innovative behaviors including intensive flint recycling activities. In this paper, we present a new classification system, developed for the study of lithic recycling at Qesem Cave. Through the careful technological analysis of hundreds of recycled items we have...
