	Levantine Aurignacian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Before this project, the Levantine Aurignacian was largely ambiguous, and was the source of some disagreement among various archaeologists in terms of what it represents.
		The Levantine Aurignacian was named after the same industry in Europe, which is largely associated with the culture first anatomically modern humans entering into a land inhabited by Neanderthals and eventually replacing this native archaic stock.
		With some understanding of the reduction sequences, it is possible to classify the assemblages at the scale of lineage and industry, and then identify potential sources of this variability, such as developmental changes revealed through chronological information, or adaptive responses to environmental and/or demographic stress, as reflected in technological strategies.

	Levant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Levant or "Shām" (Arabic root word related to the term "Semite") is an approximate historical geographical term referring to a large area in Southwest Asia south of the Taurus Mountains, bounded by the Mediterranean Sea in the west, and the north Arabian Desert and Mesopotamia to the east.
		Today, the Levantine or Sham Arabs are those living in or originating from: Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Israel, and usually Iraq.
		The term Levant, originally used in the wider sense of "Mediterranean lands east of Italy", is first attested in English in 1497, from Middle French levant "The Orient", the participle of lever "to raise", as in soleil levant "rising sun", from Latin levare.

	MidEast Web - Sphardi Jews in Israeli Society
		For those unfamiliar with the Levantine Jewish musical heritage a bit of explanation is in order: With the destruction of the Jewish Temple at the beginning of the common era, many musical traditions native to Palestine were transported and assimilated into the rich cultural fabric of the Middle East.
		According to Levantine tradition it is not necessary to interrogate the legitimacy of a world seen as external.
		The voice of the Levantine Jew is not heard: Either we have been silenced by the media or we have acquiesced to the ruling discourse and taken a position that does not serve to distinguish ourselves.

	thomas friedman excerpt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Levantine political idea, which grew naturally among the communities of the eastern Mediterranean, was an original way of dealing with diverse tribal, village, and sectarian identities, and it inspired the Beirutis and ultimately the Lebanese to believe that they could build a modern Arab republic, melding together seventeen different Christian, Muslim, and Druse sects.
		The Levantine idea posited the notion that if men cannot break with their tribal pasts, they can at least learn to check them at the door of the cities in which they live.
		This Levantine spirit developed gradually in Beirut after the Industrial Revolution, as the burgeoning Lebanese silk trade and the invention of the steamboat combined to bring men and women of America and Western Europe in large numbers to the Levant.

	Eurasian Prehistory - Levantine Aurignacian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Nor does it produce the same heated discussion as seen in Europe, primarily because the Levantine Aurignacian is, for the most part, disassociated with the issue of archaic versus modern humans.
		Researchers are divided between those who suggest a refined definition of the Levantine Aurignacian, on the basis of close similarities with the French Aurignacian, and those who prefer a broader definition that encompasses most assemblages that produce flakes, thick blades, and twisted bladelets.
		Most of the disagreement is centered on whether or not Levantine Aurignacian assemblages are refined to a small strip the Mediterranean woodlands in northern Israel and Lebanon, or if they are also found within the steppe and desert regions of the marginal zone.

		With such a high post count, I think it is blatantly clear that Levantine has accumulated enough creditability to claim a carding for himself and so here's my nomination for him to have one.
		Without going over the the top with layout, snazzy effects and lots of pictures, Levantine's profile is a nice read; not too long and containing all the summarised details on the character that you'd need to know before RPing with him.
		"Levantine has been here in the Dream for almost a year now and we managed to interact in ENTER, his PG is very nice and friendly and through out all these months he has kept himself active and posting in places such as SETTLE, MEET, ENTER and LEARN.

	Levantine London Restaurant Review, 26 London Street, Paddington
		Alarm bells started ringing when I discovered Levantine was located outside the West End in one of the capital’s most soulless areas, Paddington.
		Levantine is a lovely restaurant and the team behind it have obviously worked hard.
		But they have overlooked the simple fact that the mezze concept just doesn’t work well for small groups and that due to the size of their place that’s all they are ever going to be able to cater for.

	Levantine testimony 21
		A former Boudjah resident was Mr Guiffray who had married a Werry, and Mr de Jongh met them years later during the 1930s in their villa to the place they had emigrated to and later died at, Mytilene, the capital of the Greek island of Lesbos.
		A few Levantines stayed in Smyrna, including Henry de Jongh (Edward’s father’s brother) who being a young bachelor elected to stay in the big house, and did the rudimentary arrangements for the burial of his brother Oscar and his wife.
		Another Levantine associated with the oriental carpet manufacturers was Albert De Portu, who was 2 or 3 years older than Edward, and was brought up as an Englishman and sent to Oxford to study.

		The food and the ambiance are magnificent and the belly dancer invariably fills me with a mixture of awe and embarrassment.

	The American Muslim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Morais brilliantly exemplified the Levantine Religious Humanism of the Sephardim whose rich legacy was subsequently occluded by the emergence of an Ashkenazi immigrant majority which brought many of its own internal schisms to the United States; schisms that have haunted Jews and the Jewish faith to this very day.
		The Sephardic voice could unfold the delicate strands of the Levantine memory and construct a cultural model that would be more appropriate to the current situation than the spurious binarism promoted by the concept of Israel as an outpost of Western civilization.
		The model of Levantine Jewish historical memory would serve to collapse the alienating cult of persecution harbored in classical Zionist thought and omnipresent in the rituals of the state of Israel, replacing it with a more positive view of the past that would lead us into a more optimistic present.

	Y2K BCE: Problems in the chronology of the early Middle Bronze Age and the role of radiocarbon dating (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As an independent Levantine historical chronology, based on king-lists and astronomical observations, remains, and may always be, an elusive wish, it seems the calendrical chronology of the southern Levant will always be at the mercy of every change in the Egyptian and Syro-Mesopotamian chronologies.
		The goal of this presentation is to consider the state of southern Levantine chronology in the early Middle Bronze Age (MB IIa), and consider some currently available and potential future approaches to utilizing radiocarbon determinations to resolve the problem of when in the early part of Y2K this material culture began.
		Arnold, and others, have noted that two Levantine Painted Ware juglets are associated with Egyptian pottery that could date to as early as Amenemhet II to as late as Senusret III (High: 1911-1853).

	Grayson, Shalmaneser III and the Levantine States: The âDamascus Coalitionâ
		When Shalmaneser III attempted to move west, across the Euphrates, and then south along the Levantine coast he encountered something which none of his predecessors had confronted: the Damascus Coalition.
		After his incursions they, the Levantine states, became more astute and better informed about the intentions and movements of the Assyrian army.
		It is clear that Israel volunteered submission to Shalmaneser III, presumably in 841, since Jehu (Yaua), as is well known, is portrayed on the Black Obelisk kneeling before the king.

	Effects of riverine inputs on coastal ecosystems and fisheries resources
		The southern Levantine basin is occupied by four main water masses: the Mediterranean Surface Water (MSW), the Atlantic Water (AW), the Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) and the Eastern Mediterranean Deep Water (EMDW).
		There is general agreement that the northern Levant Sea is the main source of formation of the LIW, primarily along the southern coast of Turkey and to the east of Rhodes in February and March under the influence of the cold and dry continental winds.
		This is certainly one of the main factors that contribute to the oligotrophy of the Levantine basin.

	LATE GLACIAL FRESHENING OF THE LEVANTINE BASIN: ISOTOPIC EVIDENCE FROM ISKENDERUN BAY
		The main goal of our study is to verify a possible influence of the Black Sea outflow on the post-Glacial Eastern Mediterranean exemplified by Iskenderun Bay (eastern Levantine Basin), using isotopic analysis of planktic (G. ruber) and benthic (buliminids, Ammonia tepida and Porosononion martkobi) foraminifera from 5 cores containing sediments from the last 14 ka.
		O values of planktonic foraminifera from Iskenderun Bay (-2.03 to -0.17) are more negative (lighter) than those from the Levantine Basin (-1.42 to 0.6; Sperling et al., 2003) and totally different (0.1 to 1.9; Aksu et al., 2002) than those of the Marmara Sea.
		Another contributor of southern Mediterranean origin, such as the Nile River (Rossignol-Strick et al., 1982; ODP Leg 160, Scientific Results) could be responsible for the freshening of the Levantine Basin, contradicting the Aksu hypothesis.

		Another reason is that, if ordered in the right amount, appetisers' job is actually, well, to appetise, and that means leaving you hungrier than you were when you walked in.
