Jabroudian

The Jabroudian culture is a cultural phase of the Middle Paleolithic of the Levant. It broadly belongs to the Mousterian archaeological culture, and shows connections with the European facies La Quina.

One of the most noticeable elements is the so-called Amoudian elements, that are the first known stone blades ever. Nevertheless, the connection of this Amoudian innovations with later Upper Paleolithic blades is most likely null.
