ʿAyn Qasiyya

ʿAyn Qasiyya is an Early Epipalaeolithic archaeological site in the Azraq Oasis, Jordan; the remains of a lakeside camp used by hunter-gatherers around 20,000 years ago.^[1] Located near the aquifer-fed spring, at the time the site was occupied it was surrounded by a substantial wetland,^[2] attracting a wide range of animals which were hunted by the inhabitants.^[1] The stone tools found at the site are associated with both the Kebaran and Nebekian cultures, suggesting that it was visited by people from different cultural groups.^[1]^[3] Human burials have also been found at the site, which is rare for this period.^[4]
