Where: Jordan (32.4° N, 37.2° E: paleocoordinates 32.4° N, 37.2° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• Late Epipalaeolithic site, dated to late Natufian. Radiocarbon dates from the midden date to ca. 13.3–13.1 kya calBP. This date conforms well to the type of chipped stones recovered from the midden, which are dominated by small flakes, short bladelets and amorphous, exhausted multi-platform cores.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: anthropogenic, midden
