The goal of the book is to publish the lithic assemblages originating in the excavations of the Acheulian site at Gesher Benot Ya?aqov (GBY), Israel. The authors provide the readers with detailed descriptions of the lithic assemblages, illustrations (maps, photographs, drawings) and complete inventory of the artifacts that were excavated during the seven field seasons of 1989-1997 (two in 1997) under the directorship of Prof. Naama Goren-Inbar. This manuscript includes the classification of Large Cutting Tools (bifaces: handaxes and cleavers), Cores and Core Tools, and Flake Tools made of three different raw materials (flint, basalt and limestone). This major classification system enables, in addition to the characterization of the assemblages, intra and inter assemblage analyses and comparisons. It forms the foundation and means with which the GBY cultural sequence can be investigated and compared with other Levantine, African and Asian Acheulian entities. From a methodological perspective the authors apply a detailed attribute analysis to all lithic items, a method that integrates morpho-technoogical and stylistic observations culminating in better understanding of the Acheulian realm as documented by the analysis. This analysis is aimed to refine and improve the understanding beyond that of types and their technology and to allow describing the reduction sequence (chaîne opératoire) of some of the major components of the lithic asemblages. The unique record of diverse data from GBY provides insight into hominin behavior (through time) along the margins of the paleo-Lake Hula, and sheds light on processes that led to the colonization of other parts of Eurasia. The book will be of interest to academics and students in all disciplines of Quaternary studies, and to archaeologists using GIS for intra-site spatial analysis. 410 0$aVertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,$x1877-9077 606 $aPaleontology  606 $aArchaeology 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aGeobiology 606 $aPaleontology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G39000 606 $aArchaeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aAnthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000 606 $aBiogeosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35010 615 0$aPaleontology . 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aGeobiology. 615 14$aPaleontology. 615 24$aArchaeology. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aAnthropology. 615 24$aBiogeosciences. 676 $a944.72 700 $aGoren-Inbar$b Naama$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064480 702 $aAlperson-Afil$b Nira$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSharon$b Gonen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHerzlinger$b Gadi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299399603321 996 $aThe Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot Ya?aqov Volume IV$92538414 997 $aUNINA
