TL;DR: This paper reported genome-wide ancient DNA from 44 ancient Near Easterners ranging in time between ~12,000 and 1,400 bc, from Natufian hunter-gatherers to Bronze Age farmers, showing that the earliest populations of the Near East derived around half their ancestry from a 'Basal Eurasian' lineage that had little if any Neanderthal admixture and that separated from other non-African lineages before their separation from each other.

TL;DR: The earliest archaeological evidence for cereal-based beer brewing by a semi-sedentary, foraging people is reported in this article, where three stone mortars from a Natufian burial site at Raqefet Cave, Israel (13,700-11,700

TL;DR: A concentration of 77 Late Natufian Human-made Bedrock Holes (mortars, cupmarks, etc.) hewn into the Raqefet Cave floor and terrace (Mt. Carmel, Israel) has been recently exposed as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A long season of excavation took place at Raqefet cave during the summer of 2006 as discussed by the authors, and the results of on-going studies regarding the burials, the HBHs, the flint assemblage, the faunal remains, the ground stone industry, the bone tools and the beads.

TL;DR: Bosken et al. as discussed by the authors presented the archaeological chronology between 34 and 16 kyr BP with a focus on the Gravettian-Epigravettian dichotomy. But the classification of the site as Gravettians is erroneous because the LGM archaeological record of eastern central Europe is composed of findings of another culture, the Epigravetsian.
