Understanding the origins and spread of anatomically modern                humans and their ecological and behavioral relationships to other               hominid forms, especially Neanderthals, has long been a concern                 in human evolution.  Only recently, however, have appropriate                   archaeological tools been developed to shed light on this                       problem.                                                                                                                                                             In this project the researcher will distinguish the                        activities of these two hominid groups.  Hominid strategies for                 lithic raw materials procurement, patterns of tool use and the                  spatial structure of hominid activity will be examined at the                   sites of Kebara, Tabun, Qafzeh, Hayonim, Rosh Ein Mor, and Boker                Tachtit in Israel.  Lithic sources near the sites will be sampled               to establish local procurement strategies while wear patterns on                known tools will be reconstructed to assess the role of tool use                in shaping tool kit variability.                                                                                                                                     This project will make it possible to evaluate and                         differentiate the paleoecological and technological strategies                  associated with Neanderthal and anatomically-modern Homo sapiens.
