Abstract
There are two parts to this study. The first part is a classification and chronology of bone implements from the Mallaha site in northern Israel. The second part compares bone implement assemblies from other Natufian sites in Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. The author notes a decline in the richness of bone tradition from the ancient to final Natufian period and offers three theories: the expansion of Natufian culture into drier regions, a shift from sedentary to nomadic way of life, and the tightening of group identity resulting in less individual expression and variation.
