Kebarian

The Kebarian culture is the last Upper Paleolithic phase of the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Palestine). The culture is defined by its microlithic tools. The Kebarian directly precedes the Mesolithic of the area.

The Kebarian is preceded by the Athlitian phase of Antelian and followed by the proto-agrarian Natufian culture.
