The Tabun Cave is an excavated cave located at Mount Carmel, Israel, which was occupied intermittently during the Lower and Middle Paleolithic ages (500,000 to around 40,000 years ago). In the course of this period of time, deposits of sand, silt and clay of up to 25 meters accumulated in the cave. Excavation suggests that it features one of the longest sequences of human occupation in the Levant.
