Wadi Natuf and Shuqba Cave
Wadi Natuf and Shuqba Cave is part of the Tentative list of Palestine in order to qualify for inclusion in the World Heritage List.
Wadi an-Natuf is a dry valley in the southwest of the West Bank south of the town of Shuqba. In the Shuqba Cave on the northern edge of the valley, evidence of a Late Stone Age culture has been found, named after the wadi as the "Natufian Culture". The Natufian culture was a pre-agricultural community based on hunting and intensive food gathering.
