Abstract
Qesem cave was discovered in october 2000 east of Tel-Aviv in the course of road construction. Surface Lithic collection including a few handaxes, Quina and Demi-Quina scrapers Naturly-Baked Knifes (NBK) blades, end-scrapers and burins was tentatively assigned to the Acheulo-Yabrudian complex of the later Lower Paleolithic. The emphasis on blade production in all excavated assemblages led us to the conclusion that the site, as a whole, is to be assigned to the ammudian facies of the Acheulo-Yabrudian complex.
