Baaz Rockshelter is a prehistoric archaeological site in Syria. Located in the foothills of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains about 50 km northeast of Damascus, the site consists of a small (6 x 10 m) rock shelter favourably situated overlooking the nearby plains and springs. [1] Excavations have revealed that it was intermittently occupied during the Upper Palaeolithic ( c. 34,000 to 32,000 years ago and 23,000 to 21,000 years ago), Late Epipalaeolithic ( c. 11,200 to 10,200 years ago), and Pre-Pottery and Pottery Neolithic. [2]
The site was discovered in 1999 and excavated by a team from the University of Tübingen between 1999 and 2004. [1]
