Abstract
This site report on Tamar Hat describes the stone, stone tools, and bone found (there were few bone tools) and describes the nine deciduous human teeth found in the site. Saxon ends the report by proposing the people at Tamar Hat were herding Barbary Sheep based on the age at death of AMMOTRAGUS LERVIA and based on the fact that there is no evidence of hunting.
