The proposed project is to carry out a cultural comparison
between the Neanderthals 
and
early modern 
humans
of the Levant. This project centres around the analysis of material
to produce new information concerning the function of stone tools
produced by the Neanderthals and early modern humans found at
a number of sites situated around the Mt. Carmel area in Israel.
Preliminary analysis of the recently excavated material from Amud cave
has
already carried out in order to gather information about the subsistence
strategy of the Neanderthals from Amud (see
preliminary analysis). The expansion of the sample of the
Amud site material, would constitute phase 1 of the project.
