ABSTRACT This research deals with a Typological and technical study of a collection of the stone tools discovered later in Al-Khawaby Valley on the Syrian-Jordanian border in the south of Syria.

Through this study, it was clear to distinguish most important stone productions dated to Paleolithic, which the region witnessed through ages.
