The stratigraphy of Tabun Cave (Mt. Carmel), which comprises one of the longest sequences of Lower and Middle Paleolithic of the Near East, is widely used as a reference in debates on the evolution of Paleolithic industries and on the origin of modern humans and their relationship to the Neandertals. Considering the methodological improvements during the last ten years, the thermoluminescence (TL) dates of heated flints frequently quoted in the literature require an update. New TL results are discussed and compared with radiometric data recently obtained for this site, in particular by the ESR method, and with those obtained for other Levantine sites. The chronological framework previously proposed for the Paleolithic industries of the area is then re-examined.

以色列塔邦洞穴旧石器时代火石的TL年龄估计值的重新评估。

塔本洞（卡梅尔山）的地层由近东旧石器时代的最长序列之一组成，被广泛用作关于旧石器时代工业发展和现代人类起源的辩论的参考。他们与尼安德特人的关系。考虑到最近十年中方法学的改进，文献中经常引用的加热火石的热致发光（TL）日期需要更新。讨论了新的TL结果，并将其与最近从该站点（尤其是通过ESR方法获得）的辐射度数据以及从其他Levantine站点获得的辐射度数据进行了比较。然后重新检查以前为该地区的旧石器时代工业提出的时间顺序框架。
