New dimensions to the Epipalaeolithic of the Wadi el-Jilat in central Jordan
Abstract
Excavations undertaken at two multi-phase Epipalaeolithic sites in the Wadi el-Jilat (central Jordan) highlight regional diversity in both lithic assemblages and settlement patterns during the late Pleistocene of the southern Levant. New dates from Jilat 6 confirm that an assemblage dominated by geometric triangles was manufactured between 15,500 and 16,700 b.p. (contemporary with the Kebaran) and recent excavations at Jilat 22 have revealed a non-microlithic blade-focussed assemblage with a novel tool form dating to around 13,000 b.p. (contemporary with the geometric Kebaran). The article also addresses the geomorphological/behavioural processes lying behind the formation of extensive late Pleistocene sites in the present steppe/desert transition zone of Jordan.

The Azraq Basin has the two largest and most impressive early Epipaleolithic sites in the southern Levant, Kharaneh IV and Jilat 6, which greatly contrast with the typical small size of all other sites of this time period.
“This internal drainage basin is noteworthy in that it has the two largest and most impressive early Epipaleolithic sites in the southern Levant -Kharaneh IV and Jilat 6and they greatly contrast from the typical small size of all other sites of this time period (Byrd and Garrard, 1990;Garrard and Byrd, 1992).”

Occupation of Jilat 6 and Kharaneh IV undoubtedly took place for only a portion of the year, likely representing an aggregation settlement with a heavy emphasis on targeting locally available gazelle herds in the dry steppe.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
