It is one of the oldest habitations found in the country.[1] Rescue excavations were carried out in 1959 by Dorothy Garrod and G. Henri-Martin.[2] They dug 2 trenches named the 'Rail' and 'Tunnel' trenches, from which they recovered over 30,000 flint artefacts of a wide variety for statistical analysis from 22 geological layers.[3] It was concluded that the sea had passed the level of the cave 3 times since its first dated habitation around 50,000 years BCE (52,000 years BP).[4] They also discovered a tooth suggested to belong to a Neanderthal. It was suggested that the inhabitants were expert at hunting gazelle using the flints recovered.[5] References1. ^Copeland, Lorraine and Moloney, Norah (eds) (1998) The Mousterian Site of Ras el-Kelb, Lebanon BAR IS 706. {{ISBN|0-86054-939-9}} {{Archaeological sites in Lebanon}}{{Navbox prehistoric caves}}{{Portal|Lebanon|Archaeology|Ancient Near East}}2. ^Garrod, D. and Henri-Martin, G., Fouilles a Ras el-Kelb, Liban, 1959.
