Although the compared assemblages are aligned in chronological order from left to right, we do not assume a chronological relationship between LMP (TSB) and LMP (TFJ) and between IUP (WAR) and IUP (TFZ), as described in the text. LMP, Late Middle Paleolithic; IUP, Initial Upper Paleolithic; EUP, Early Upper Paleolithic; E Epi, Early Epipaleolithic; M Epi, Middle Epipaleolithic. The lithic assemblages were excavated from Tor Sabiha (TSB), Tor Faraj (TFJ), Wadi Aghar (WAR), Tor Fawaz (TFZ), and Tor Hamar (THR) located in southern Jordan. CTE core trimming element.
