“…Vaufrey (1951) listed only two calcanea as belonging to Lepus (lengths 0.27 and 0.28 cm, respectively), both from Layer D2. He identified them as belonging to a small lagomorph which he termed Lepus [europeaus] syriacus , a subspecies of the brown hare that is found in Turkey, Syria and Lebanon (Demirbaş and Albayrak 2014). Here we follow Yom‐Tov (1967) and Mendelssohn and Yom‐Tov (1999) who designated the hare in Israel as belonging to the Cape hare, Lepus capensis , although microsatellite studies have suggested to split this population into brown hare in northern Israel and Cape hare in the south (Suchentrunk et al .…”

The Middle Pleistocene archaeological record of the southern Levant has proven key to understanding human evolution and intercontinental faunal biogeography. Knowledge of archaeological sites of that period in the southern Levant is biased, with most Middle Pleistocene localities in the Mediterranean areas in the north, despite the mosaic of environments that mark the entire region. A key Middle Pleistocene location in the Judean Deserton the eastern margin of the Mediterranean zoneis the site of Oumm Qatafa, excavated in the early 1900s, which yielded a faunal collection spanning an estimated time period of 600-200 kya. Here, we present a revised taxonomy of the macromammalian fauna from the site, discuss the palaeoenvironmental implications of this assemblage, and relate the finds to other Pleistocene sites from the Levant. These data enable a more precise palaeoenvironmental reconstruction which attests to an open landscape, but with the addition of a mesic Mediterranean component close by. In addition, detailed taphonomic observations on butchery marks and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of burnt bone link the fauna for the first time to anthropogenic activities in the cave.

A B S T R A C TThis study was conducted between 2010 and 2011. The goal of study is to identify mammal species in the area and determine factors threatening these species. As a result of field studies, totally 20 species were identified from the orders Eulipotyphla, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, Rodentia, Carnivora, and Artiodactyla of Mammal class. Factors that threaten mammal species and protective measures were given.
