Antelian


The Antelian culture, now called Levantine Aurignacian, is an Upper Paleolithic phase of the Levant that evolved from the Emiran culture. The most important innovation in this period is the incorporation of some typical elements of Aurignacian, like some types of burins and narrow blade points that resemble the European type of Font-Yves.

Phases

The appearance of the Kebarian culture, of microlithic type implies a significant rupture in the cultural continuity of Levantine Upper Paleolithic.
