The Epipaleolithic tradition extends from 45,000 BP to 10,100 BP from the Mediterranean zone to the desert areas of the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and southern Turkey, northern Iraq and northwestern Iran. It includes the Natufian subtradition. Epipaleolithic people were hunter-gatherers living in small, egalitarian communities. Communities became more sedentary over time. They made shell bead ornaments, stone and bone tools, including groundstone tools for grinding ochre and later for preparing food.
