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.
