Abstract Far’ah II is an open-air site in the north western Negev desert (Israel). Previous excavations in the 1970’s revealed a rich, in situ Middle Paleolithic (MP) assemblage composed of flint and limestone artifacts, animal bones and charcoal. Renewed excavation at the site were undertaken in 2017, to re-date it and provide a more accurate constrain to the sites’ age, as well as collect samples for paleoclimatic proxies. Our new Optically Stimulated Luminescence and 14C ages together with the stable oxygen isotope signature of the loess sediments, constrain the age of the upper archaeological horizon to

黎凡特南部旧石器时代中期到旧石器时代晚期的过渡：来自以色列 Far'ah II 旧石器时代晚期遗址的新见解

摘要 Far'ah II 是位于内盖夫沙漠（以色列）西北部的露天场地。1970 年代以前的发掘揭示了丰富的原位旧石器时代中期 (MP) 组合，由燧石和石灰石文物、动物骨骼和木炭组成。2017 年对该遗址进行了重新挖掘，以对其进行重新确定年代并提供对遗址年龄的更准确限制，并收集古气候代理样本。我们新的光激发光和 14C 年龄以及黄土沉积物的稳定氧同位素特征，将上考古层的年龄限制在
