Foreword / Bernard Vandermeersch and Ofer Bar-Yosef -- Premises and concepts underlying the study of the Qafzeh lithics -- Qafzeh Cave : the region and the site -- Lithic production 1 : the cores -- Lithic production 2 : the debitage -- Lithic production 3 : the retouched artifacts -- The organization of lithic technology in Qafzeh -- Qafzeh Cave in a broader perspective : subsistence and mobility -- Population dynamics during the Middle Paleolithic period in the Levant -- Tracing behavioral modernity in the Levantine record.
This book presents the first comprehensive description of the lithic assemblages from Qafzeh Cave, one of only two Middle Paleolithic sites in the Levant that has yielded multiple burials of early anatomically modern Homo sapiens (AMHs). The record from this region raises the question of possible long-term temporal overlap between early AMHs and Neanderthals. For this reason, Qafzeh has long been one of the pivotal sites in debates on the origins of AMHs and in attempts to compare and contrast the two species' adaptations and behavior. Although the hominin fossils from the site were published.
