| 'Ubeidiya Formation site II-23 | Gaudzinski S. (2004) | 'Ubeidiya | Site has been subject to much tectonic movement - archaeological levels are almost vertical in the section. There have been four major depositional cycles, the lowest is of archaeological interest and is termed the Fi (lower Fluviatile). This limnic level is 30m thick. Site dated to between 1.4-1.0Ma, but is thought (on faunal grounds) to be at the older end of this range. | claystone | 2.588 - 0.0117 Ma Pleistocene |
