Abstract
THE human remains described in this very important and voluminous work come from two neighbouring caves-the biggest, et-Tabun (Levels ? and C), and the other a mere rock shelter, Mugharet es-Skhul (Level B). The first, a big cave, is at the mouth of the Wady Mughara, looking down on the coastal plain. The second is a little above the foot of the valley, slightly upstream and on the same bank as the first.
