Abstract

Recent excavations conducted by F. Valla and H. Khalaily at Eynan/Ain Mallaha, located in the Upper Jordan Valley, have since 1996, concentrated on the Final Natufian layer. Numerous faunal remains were collected from the occupation floors of the structures and from the stony layer. An analysis of several samples from the upper layer is presented here. General questions regarding the nature of the Natufian economy, the modes of occupation and the habitats exploited is ppresented here. A detailed presentation of the material has also been provided and the frequencies of species discussed. Finally we have tried to reconstruct the origin of the fauna, its characterisitics and its impact on the human inabitans of Eynan. Finally, we have tried to reconstruct the origin of the fauna, its characteristics and its impact on the human inhabitants of Eynan.
