History
An expedition of the Southern University of Texas explored the Sebilian culture on the Dishna plains. The Ain Khoman tools of Oasis Baharia were identified as similar to the Isnan industry of the Dishna dated to c.12,300 B.P, differing only with respect to bifacial tools. Several sites between Wadi Kubbaniya and the plains contained assemblages also of Isnan industrial production. The Isnan industry also known as Mesnian, employs is a non-levallois technique, productions composed largely of end-scrapers, though also including a much smaller number of arch-backed bladelets and trapezoid.
