Neve David
Neve David is an Early Epipaleolithic site located at the foot of the western slope of the Mount Carmel hills in northern Israel. It was inhabited in the later part of the Early Epipaleolithic, about 15,000–13,000 BC.
Today, the Neve David site is just about 1 km from the Mediterranean coastline, but in the final Pleistocene, it was 10 – 13 km from the shore, overlooking a broad coastal plain. It was thus situated at an ecotone, the boundary between two contrasting ecological zones, with the seasonally dry valleys of the Mount Carmel limestone massif to its east, and the Mediterranean coastal plain to its west. Such locations with access to two complementing ecological resources were favoured by many Epipaleolithic and Neolithic communities.
==Settlement==
At c. 1000 square meters, Neve David was one of the larger settlements of its time, and the thickness of its archaeological deposit layer of about 1 meter indicates that it was occupied repeatedly over a long period. Being an open air site, the good preservation of its remains implies the implementation of solid structures of soil and clay. It yielded large quantities of ground-stone implements, most made of local limestone, but some also of black basalt brought there from some distance.
The faunal remains found at Neve David comprised 15 mammal species, two reptile species and seven genera of molluscs. Bone fractures, cut marks and burned bones reflect human activity. The major prey species were gazelle and fallow deer (60% and 30%, respectively), comparable to many other Epipaleolithic sites from Israel.
