Of, pertaining to, or designating a neolithic culture of Palestine represented by remains found at Tahouneh. Also absol.
1936J. Garstang in Annals Archaeol. & Anthropol. XXII. 168 There seems to be no doubt that we are in the presence of a distinctive culture of the neolithic period. Whether it will be classed finally as Tahunian II is a matter for experts; meanwhile, as the Tahunian specimens are surface finds..we propose the more descriptive title ‘Neo-Tahunian’. 1949[see Maglemosian a. and n.]. 1952V. G. Childe New Light on Most Ancient East xi. 225 By 1934 assemblages of flints from caves..had enabled Neuville to define a ‘Tahunian’ industry which could be classified as Neolithic. 1960K. M. Kenyon Archæol. in Holy Land ii. 46 The flint industry which has for long been accepted as the classic Neolithic industry of Palestine is called the Tahunian. 1961G. Clark World Prehist. iv. 82 The lithic industry in the upper Jericho level, with its pressure-flaked tanged arrowheads..compares closely with that of the Tahounian. 1977Ibid. (ed. 3) ii. 51 The Tahunian lithic component shows marked continuity, but one notable innovation in the form of flake arrows with side-notches. |
