Sands of Beirut

[15] It was first discovered by Father René Mouterde and material was published by Godefroy Zumoffen in 1910, Auguste Bergy in 1932 and Henri Fleisch in 1956 and 1965.

is located west of the station buildings and contained mostly Middle Paleolithic material with traces of Mesolithic and Neolithic along with one Emireh point.

is a section in the railway cutting where material studies by Fathers Fleisch and Ramonnay determined to be largely Levalloiso-Mousterian with some Upper Paleolithic and Neolithic traces.

[13][17] Material from the site was considered largely similar to that of the Néolithique Récent of Byblos by Jacques Cauvin including long, narrow adzes, chisels, segmented sickle blades with fine denticulation, borers and a transverse arrowhead found by Auguste Bergy about 750 metres (2,460 ft) east of the minaret.

[12] This site is north of Shell petrol station, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Beirut near the Airport terminal.

[11][18] A semi-circular site northeast of the Shell petrol station continuing to a point underneath Airport Boulevard.

A small site containing two Emireh points, a Natufian arrowhead and a number of axes from various periods including the Neolithic.

[11] This site is east of the Zone Militaire on the top of a dune above a wood to the west of the first circle of Airport Boulevard, near Bir Hassan.

[14] They were located at the east end of the runway of Beirut Airport covering a site of approximately 500 square metres (0.050 ha).

Flints including Levallois cores, flakes and waste were dispersed across the whole area but gave little evidence regarding the age of the stone circles.

[19] Henri Fleisch also recovered more material during a rescue mission in 1948 when the site was levelled due to construction of Beirut airport.

Pottery and flints were recovered including a variety of axes, knives, chisels, scrapers, borers, and picks.

Pottery was hardened by firing and included flat bases, a strap handle and a few sherds incised with stab marks and parallel lines.

Moore argued that finds such as Amuq points and short axes were more archaic still, possibly even dating into the Upper Paleolithic.

He further suggested the site had been frequented by hunter-gatherer groups forming temporary camps and developed into a village during the early neolithic period.

Jacques Cauvin has termed the collection of flints from this site as a "nucléus naviformes", which he claimed may represent an older type of lithic technology than found in the most archaic neolithic levels from Byblos.
