Samenvatting

This paper presents some results of a re­analysis of the Epipalaeolithic vertebrate remains from Ksar 'Akil in the Lebanon. The excavated Epipalaeolithic faunal sample consists at most exclusively of ungu­late remains. Fallow deer predominated throughout the sequence from levels V to I. In order of economic importance, this species was followed by wild goat, roe deer, wild boar and gazelle. The change from a pre-Kebaran to an early Kebaran lithic industry was accom­panied by an economic shift, characterized by a relative increase of fallow deer. This shift probably reflects an increase in arboreal vegetation.
