First Description: 

Chronological Abstract: 

Located at the northern end of the Dead Sea Rift, Dederiyeh Cave was an entrance to the passage of the early human dispersals into Europe and Asia. For this reason, the discovery of Neanderthal skeletal remains, and associated lithic and faunal assemblages from this site offer new and exciting evidence for the controversy concerning the relationship between the modern humans and the demise of the Neanderthals.
