Abstract

THE Ubeidiya Formation¹ is known from three localities (Fig. 1) within the Jordan Valley, where it is steeply tilted, faulted and folded ^2,3. It is rich in prehistoric remains, representing the Developed Oldowan and Early Acheulean⁴. The Ubeidiya Formation is important in the Pleistocene history of the Jordan Valley for two reasons: it is the youngest sedimentary sequence to be severely affected by tectonic movements of the graben, and it contains the oldest human implements ever found in the Middle East.
