Rock shelter in Lebanon
Ras Baalbek I (Arabic: رأس بعلبك) is a rock shelter 500 m (1,600 ft) east of Ras Baalbek in the northern Beqaa Valley in Lebanon.[1] It sits north of the Wadi Teniyet er-Râs valley at a height of 1,000 m (3,300 ft). It was first discovered by Lorraine Copeland and Peter Wescombe in 1965–1966. It was later excavated by Jacques Besançon in 1970.[2] Retouched blades along with a pressure-flaked arrowhead and a burin were found dated to the Neolithic period.
