Abstract
THE general characteristics of the large coastal cave site known as the Haua Fteah, in north-eastern Libya, have already been described, together with a brief resume of the most important results obtained up to 19521,2. A further season's work in 1955 provided additional fossil human remains associated with Middle Palaeolithic occupation debris3a,b, enabled a much closer analysis of the stratigraphy, and, by opening up a wider area, made possible the excavation of a deep sounding into earlier cultural horizons than any hitherto examined, down to a total depth of 42.5 ft. In the past six years a detailed programme of study of the cultural, palaeontological and other collections has been carried out in this Department, and further samples for carbon-14 analysis have been processed.
