Abstract
Two tables of morphological classification for notched arrowheads from Syria are presented, one for the Euphrates Valley (Mureybat) in the 9th-8th millenia, another for the Damascus area (Tell Aswad, Tell Ramad) in the 8th-7th millenia. Arrowheads appear during the Epi-Natufian (ca. 8300 B.C.) with shapes apparently common to the whole Levant ( "el-Khiam points "). Certain features, such as recurrent wings, seem to be linked later on more to the littoral culture where these notched arrowheads are used longer. They disappear very soon in the Euphrates area where a new typology develops, which could be at the origin of the littoral industries of the PPNB and the Byblos type.
