Khallet el Hamra, Archaeological site in Ain Ebel, Lebanon
Located southeast of Ain Ebel village, Khallet el Hamra extends as a ravine connecting to Wadi Yaroun at 700 meters above sea level.
Jesuit archaeologist Paul Bovier-Lapierre discovered Heavy Neolithic tools from the Qaraoun culture at this location during expeditions conducted in 1908.
The excavated stone implements at Khallet el Hamra reveal advanced tool-making techniques of early human settlements in the Nabatieh region.
The archaeological site can be accessed through a track leading from Ain Ebel to Bint Jbeil, with exploration recommended during daylight hours.
Researchers found massive nosed scrapers crafted from light grey silicious limestone, along with an extraordinarily large Acheulean chopper at this location.
