Abstract

Early Acheulian assemblages in fluviolacustrine contexts at the Early Pleistocene site of 'Ubeidiya (Jordan Valley, Israel) have been described as "living floors." A study of variation in the surface abrasion of stone tools from several such "living floors" suggest a mixture of cultural and geological factors were involved in the formation of these assemblages.
