Abstract
Olszewski asserts the assmeblage from Abu Hureyra 1 is significant for its large size and in that both large and small artifacts were proportionaltely recovered during excavation. She describes the assemblage from each level, determines if changes occurred in the assemblage over time, and compares the assemblage with contemporary sites in the Levant. Although Abu Hureyra shares some patterns of chipped stone tool use with sites in the southern Levant there are enough differences in tool blank production and certain types of stone tools that the northern and southern Levant should be considered separate regions during the Epipaleolithic.
