Introduction -- An Open-Air Site at Nesher Ramla, Israel, and New Insights into Levantine Middle Paleolithic Technology and Site Use -- A Week in the Life of the Mousterian Hunter -- Chrono-cultural Considerations of Middle Paleolithic Occurrences at Manot Cave (Western Galilee), Israel -- Middle Palaeolithic Flint Mines in Mount Carmel: An Alternative Interpretation -- Initial Upper Palaeolithic Elements of the Keoue Cave, Lebanon -- The Ahmarian in the Context of the Earlier Upper Palaeolithic in the Near East -- Ahmarian or Levantine Aurignacian? Wadi Kharar 16R and New Insights into the Upper Palaeolithic Lithic Technology in the northeastern Levant -- Living on the Edge: The Earliest Modern Human Settlement of the Armenian Highlands in Aghitu-3 Cave -- The Middle to Upper Paleolithic Transition in the Zagros: The Appearance and Evolution of the Baradostian -- Upper Palaeolithic Raw Material Economy in the Southern Zagros Mountains of Iran -- Neanderthals and Modern Humans in the Indus Valley? The Middle and Late (Upper) Palaeolithic settlement of Sindh, a Forgotten Region of the Indian Subcontinent -- Ecological Niche and Least-cost Path Analyses to Estimate Optimal Migration Routes of Initial Upper Palaeolithic Populations to Eurasia.

This volume is a compilation of results from sessions of the Second International Conference on the Replacement of Neanderthals by Modern Humans, which took place between November 30 and December 6, 2014, in Hokkaido, Japan. Similar to the first conference held in 2012 in Tokyo, the 2014 conference (RNMH2014) aimed to compile the results of the latest multidisciplinary approaches investigating the issues surrounding the replacement of Neanderthals by modern humans. The results of the sessions, supplemented by off-site contributions, center on the archeology of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic of the Levant and beyond. The first part of this volume presents recent findings from the Levant, while the second part focuses on the neighboring regions, namely, the Caucasus, the Zagros, and South Asia. The 13 chapters in this volume highlight the distinct nature of the cultural occurrences during the Middle and Upper Paleolithic periods of the Levant, displaying a continuous development as well as a combination of lithic traditions that may have originated in different regions. This syncretism, which is an unusual occurrence in the regions discussed in this volume, reinforces the importance of the Levant as a region for interpreting the RNMH phenomenon in West Asia.
