Abstract

The site of WHS 618 (Ain el-Buhira) in the Wadi Hasa of west-central Jordan represents an excellent example of the Levantine Upper Paleolithic in Jordan and demonstrates a strong association with the late Ahmarian tradition of the southern Levant. Variability in the lithic assemblages from this large site situated on the shores of Pleistocene Lake Hasa suggests at least two major occupations during the terminal Upper Paleolithic at ca. 20,000 b.p. The presence of Ahmarian assemblages at WHS 618 contributes new data on the distribution of non-Aurignacian assemblage types in the lesser known regions of the Levant.
