A Krivoshapkin [2001?] in his discussion of the lithic industry of the Obi-Rakhmet Grotto,Uzbekistan refers to the Rosh-Ain-More site in Isreal [page 214].
--"dated to around 80Ka ago,has yielded proto-prismatic cores with clear use of crested eclats debordants as part the reduction strategy".He notes that "to many,this feature is typical of transitional Middle-Upper Palaeolithic industries".
Homo sapiens may still have occupied the Skhul cave circa 80Ka and the Neanderthals could [?] have been in Isreal at that time.
Is there any evidence ,which might indentify the species,who made the tools at Rosh-Ain-More?
A list that seems both complete and recent is Table 1 (titled "Human Fossils From Levantine Middle Paleolithic Sites") in:
Shea, J.J. (2003). Neandertals, competition, and the origin of modern human behavior in the Levant.
Evolutionary Anthropology 12: 173-187.
This has no human fossils listed for Rosh-Ein-Mor.
