Shepherd Neolithic
Style of ancient industry in Lebanon / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shepherd Neolithic is a name given by archaeologists to a style (or industry) of small flint tools from the Hermel plains in the north Beqaa Valley, Lebanon.[7] The Shepherd Neolithic industry has been insufficiently studied and was provisionally named based on a limited typology collected by Jesuit archaeologist "Père" Henri Fleisch.[8] Lorraine Copeland and Peter J. Wescombe suggested it was possibly "of quite late date".[8]
