Recent excavations conducted through the Israel Antiquities Authority with other young people from Dimona in southern Israel have exposed a giant silicon site in the Middle Paleolithic that researchers existed between 250,000 and 50,000 years ago.
Cutting is the formation of flint or other stones, the lithic relief procedure to make tools, flint guns or to produce flat-faced stones for the structure or cladding of walls and outcrop decorations.
Excavations were carried out for the structure of a solar power box and financed through the electric company. The prehistoric site was discovered with the help of other young people in the city, who worked on summer work on excavations at the economically complicated time of Covid 19.
The newly discovered site is small. Prehistoric humans came here to access the abundant pedernal of herbs with which they made their tools.
It is exclusive due to the generation of the size of a flint, known as “Nubian Levallois”, a local african. Researchers are charting their way through this generation to perceive the migration routes of fashionable humans from Africa to the rest of the world about 100,000 years ago.
According to excavation managers Talia Abulafia and Maya Oron of the Israel Antiquities Authority, “this is the first evidence of a nubian flint industry and an archaeological excavation in Israel. The carved flint artifacts remained precisely where humans sat down and created the tools.
“This manufacturing is known to the fashionable human populations that lived in East Africa 150 to 100,000 years ago and migrated from it around the world,” they said. “Over the past decade, many Nubian sites have been discovered in the Arabian Peninsula. This has led many researchers to claim that fashionable humans have left Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The Dimona site turns out to be the northernmost example of the production of The Nubian Flint decryption in situ, thus marking the migration route: from Africa to Saudi Arabia, and from there, perhaps, to the Negev.
The excavations took place in the face of the demanding situations presented through Covid 19. According to Svetlana Talis, an archaeologist in the northern Negev district of the Israel Antiquities Authority, “Dimona is one of the cities most seriously affected by the wave of the Corona epidemic and has even been on the brink of closure. After wondering what to do in the summer holidays, other young people from Dimona came here to the digs to paint and help their families, and noticed a site of compostric importance. All of this is a component of an assignment promoted and directed through the Israel Antiquities Authority in recent years, which seeks to bring our youth closer to their own cultural heritage.
