The Prehistoric Man Museum

The Prehistoric Man Museum, Archaeological museum in Ma'ayan Baruch, Israel.

The Prehistoric Man Museum is a prehistory museum in Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch, founded in 1954 by Amnon Assaf, who gathered all its finds himself. Its core is a collection of flint, basalt, limestone and obsidian tools from the Hulah Valley, from Lower Palaeolithic hand axes to Epipalaeolithic microliths and Neolithic implements. Displays also hold pottery, glass and jewellery from burial caves near the kibbutz, a series of hominid skull casts, and an ethnographic wing of tools from around the world.

Amnon Assaf, a member of Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch, founded the museum in 1954 and gathered its finds himself. On the recommendation of archaeologist Moshe Stekelis it was officially recognised as a prehistoric museum in 1963. Since 2012 its curator has been Prof. Gonen Sharon of Tel-Hai College.

The museum displays a complete skeleton of a Natufian woman buried together with her dog, revealing how people and animals were close companions in early times. This burial shows what mattered to families in those ancient societies.

The museum is in Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch in the Hulah Valley; the collection was assembled by Amnon Assaf, who founded it in 1954, and since 2012 it has been curated by Prof. Gonen Sharon of Tel-Hai College. Look for the burial from the Natufian site of Eynan, where a woman of about 50 was interred with a dog puppy.

A special section displays ethnographic objects from different cultures worldwide, including items made from organic and natural materials such as bone and wood. This collection offers a comparative view of how different peoples created and used similar tools.
