Harifian is a specialized regional cultural development of the Epipalaeolithic of the Negev Desert, in the southern part of the Levant.
This industry contrasts with the Desert Natufian which did not have the roughly triangular points in its assemblage.
One group consists of ephemeral base camps in the north of Sinai and western Negev, where stone points comprise up to 88% of all microliths, accompanied by only a few lunates and triangles.
The other group consists of base camps and smaller campsites in the Negev and features a greater number of lunates and triangles than points.
The presence of Khiam points in some sites indicates that there was communication with other areas in the Levant at this time.
