SHANIDAR CAVE — SOLECKI 423 



of "Emireh-type" points in Shaniclar D associated quite closely with 

 a stalagmite level or evidence of a pluvial period — a phenomenon also 

 noted in Palestine-Lebanon. The typological resemblances of the 

 Shanidur Paleolithic material are not exclusively alined with the east- 

 ern Mediterranean region. Affinities have been noted with the caves 

 of Iran and archeological sites in the Caucasus. Outside of Kokten's 

 (1949) finds in the Korain cave near Antalya in Turkey (material 

 comparable to Shanidar D) ," we do not have good comparison studies 

 with Anatolia, a region where close relationships should be sought.

"My impression of Kokten's "Moustorian TI" material, viewed in Ankara, is 

 that this assemblage is comparable to Shanidar D. It contains a large propor- 

 tion of points and side scrapers, similar to the situation at Shanidar.
