ES SKHUL

'Es Skhul' (meaning ''kids'') is a cave site situated c. 20 kilometers south of the Israeli town of Haifa, and c. 3 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea. The site, believed to be prehistoric, was first excavated by Dorothy Garrod in the summer of 1928. The excavations revealed the first evidence of the late Epipalaeolithic Natufian culture, characterised by the presence of abundant microliths, human burials and ground stone tools. The cave also has Middle Palaeolithic layers.
