Aammiq

BC was Natufian or perhaps preceramic neolithic where a skeleton was found covered with red ochre.

Tools with agricultural purpose included mortars, grinders and stoneware basalt pestles.

Other brown flint lithics recovered include a triangle, blades, scrapers and picks, tools suggested pre-natufian occupation.

[4] The results of a pollen core from Aamiq was published in 2008 suggesting the area was used for grazing in the neolithic while the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountains were being deforested.

This is supported by Heavy Neolithic tools manufactured in specialized workshops such as Kamed el Loz I, Souwan and Wadi Msı'l el Hadd and a special design of flint called an Orange slice found at sites like Majdel Anjar I, Dakwe I and IIHabarjer III, Qaraoun I and II, Kefraya, and Beı'dar Chamou't.
