The Early Dabban industry was discovered in the Cyrenaica region (Northeast of Libya), considered to be representative of the early stages of the Later Stone Age in this region. This industry was defined based on the lithic assemblages recovered from Hagfet ed Dabba and the nearby Haua Fteah site. We studied the lithic material from Level VI of the Hagfet ed Dabba site, which was excavated by Prof. McBurney in 1949. The aim of the lithic production was to obtain blade/bladelets through bidirectional and unidirectional prismatic methods. Blanks are of two types: wide, non-curved and straight blade/bladelets and narrow and pointed blades/bladelets. The blanks were modified mostly into backed pieces/points and Chamfered pieces. We discuss the role and possible contacts of the Dabban in understanding the Later Stone Age in northern Africa and the Initial Upper Palaeolithic and Upper Palaeolithic in the Near East. Following the technological analysis of Level VI, we consider the Early Dabban as representing an independent and local industry of the Early Later Stone Age with possible influences from the Levantine IUP and Ahmarian industries. Nevertheless, there is no evidence of direct affiliation with any of them, and the industry indeed portrays its own specific characteristics.

早期达班工业是在昔兰尼加地区（利比亚东北部）发现的，被认为是该地区后期石器时代早期阶段的代表。该行业的定义基于从 Hagfet ed Dabba 和附近的 Haua Fteah 遗址回收的石块组合。我们研究了Hagfet ed Dabba 遗址VI 级的岩屑材料，该遗址由McBurney 教授于1949 年发掘。岩屑生产的目的是通过双向和单向棱柱方法获得叶片/刀片。坯料有两种类型：宽、非弯曲和直刀片/刀片和窄和尖刀片/刀片。坯料主要被修改为背衬件/点和倒角件。我们讨论了达班人在了解北非晚期石器时代和近东早期旧石器时代晚期和旧石器时代晚期方面的作用和可能的联系。根据 VI 级的技术分析，我们认为早期达班代表了早期晚期石器时代的一个独立的本地产业，可能受到黎凡特 IUP 和 Ahmarian 产业的影响。尽管如此，没有证据表明与其中任何一个有直接联系，而且该行业确实描绘了自己的特定特征。
