The existence of Middle Palaeolithic exploitation pits for chert cobbles is noted on the surface of a Nile terrace at 7m above the floodplain. A sample of lithic artifacts shows that Levallois technology is utilized exclusively. Résumé L'existence de puits d'extraction de galets de silex du Paléolithique Moyen est observée à la surface d'une terrasse nilotique se situant à 7m au-dessus de la plaine alluviale. Un échantillon d'artefacts prouve que les galets de silex extraits des puits ont servi exclusivement au débitage Levallois.
The Nazlet Khater 4 site (Nile Valley, Upper Egypt) is located on one of the small wadi- interfluves in the lower desert near the steep cliffs bordering the western Nile Valley edge (Fig. 1). We have previously reported the excavation of an early Upper Palaeolithic blade industry at this site, although blade industries in the Nile Valley had only been known to occur since 18,000 yr ago. The 1982 excavation reported here confirms that Nazlet Khater 4 is a chert mining site with a complex extraction strategy, going back 33,000 yr. A nearby grave contained a skeleton of a man in the extended position. We show that the cranial morphology is anatomically modern with archaic characteristics such as a very robust mandible. There is evidence that the skeleton has a similar age to that of the mining site.
