Few large remains were found but there is a profusion of buried small detritus. The artefacts show evidence of an active lithic industry in the surrounding area. Most of the flint used seems to have come from a distance of less than 5 kilometres. Basalt was found within a ten kilometre range. As there is no preservation of flora, information on the use of plants is lacking.
Techniques perpetuate previous skills without regression.
All these clues do not contradict the hypothesis that suggests that sedentary life continued at Mallaha during part of the late Natufian. However, at this particular stage of the research, one can only prove the presence of the Natufians during spring and some time between spring and the beginning of winter. The site was nonetheless abandoned by the late Natufian people. They did return to the old village where they dug burials out of a deposit which has since disappeared. The archaeological discoveries of the last two excavations at Mallaha have reinforced the idea one may have had of the late Natufian occupation of the site.
