Raqefet Cave

Raqefet Cave, located in Israel, is an important archaeological site dating back around 12,000 years to the final Ice Age. It contains well-preserved evidence of early human life, including tools, animal bones, and wall art. These findings provide valuable insights into the lifestyle, hunting practices, and symbolic behaviors of some of the earliest modern humans in the region. The cave’s layers reveal a gradual transition from hunter-gatherer groups to more settled communities, making it a key site for understanding human prehistory and cultural development during the Paleolithic period.
