This book includes 85 chapters dealing with various aspects of the Quaternary of the Levant. Among the research areas included in this volume are the evolution of the natural environment and the physical settings of the Levant (e.g., geology, climate, drainage system evolution) paleoenvironmental aspects (e.g., soil developments, sand, dust and loess accretion, palaeobotany and palaeozology), palaeoclimatology and palaeohydrology (e.g., speleothems, lake levels and palaeolimological changes in lakes and wetlands and ancient floods), and geomorphic responses to climate and tectonics. On top of these environmental settings and changes, the volume includes numerous summaries of human occupational sites in caves and open air as well as discussions of the environments they operated within. The humans of the Levant are documented from specific sites and through time from early Acheulian to the earliest Neolithic.
