Abstract
In the 1930s, the skeletal remains of at least 10 hominids were uncovered in the cave of es-Skhul (Mt. Carmel, Israel). Thermoluminescence (TL) dates have been obtained on six burnt flints from level B in which these so-called "proto-Cro-Magnons' " remains were found. The TL average date, 119 ± 18 ky BP, is consistent with the previous ESR estimates (81 ± 15-101 ± 12 ky BP) and confirms the great antiquity of early modern humans in the Levant.
