N1 - Funding Information: This research has had a long gestation, and because of it, I am indebted to many people for its culmination. I am personally acquainted with many of the people whose inferences I criticize in this paper. And, while I clearly disagree with their interpretations, they already know this. I bear them no ill will, and my remarks are made without prejudice. I am especially grateful to Ofer Bar-Yosef for inviting me to take part in the excavations at Kebara Cave in 1989, and to Paul Goldberg for recommending me. My conversations with the équipe at Kebara were always stimulating, especially those with Bernard Vandermeersch and Anna Belfer-Cohen. Anna Backer graciously entertained my queries about Saint-Césaire 1’s depositional circumstances. William Kimbel and Yoel Rak have entertained me with good-humoured jibes about Neandertal burial. I gratefully acknowledge Knut Fladmark for teaching me that archaeologists must always attempt to rule out natural processes before inferring human or hominid behaviour to explain the material traces they find, while to Brian Hayden go thanks for teaching me that archaeologists can and do ignore geomorphological and taphonomic processes in favour of fanciful interpretations of human agency. Funds for travel to Israel were provided through an L. S. B. Leakey Trust grant and a Robert H. Lowie Scholarship. Thanks especially to Wendy Beck, Iain Davidson, Alice Gorman, Rosalind James, Stephanie Lambretti, and Catherine Mitchell, who read and commented on drafts, to Peter Grave for producing the seriation by correspondence analysis and to Douglas Hobbs for producing the illustrations. Moreover, I am grateful to JHE’s editor, Terry Harrison, five anonymous reviewers, and two not-so-anonymous reviewers—Paul Goldberg and Ofer Bar-Yosef—for asking challenging questions, making pertinent suggestions and throwing the brickbats that helped me to tighten and strengthen my arguments. Belatedly, I wish to express my gratitude to Glen Guthrie, who was a ready sounding board during an earlier phase of this research. Finally, I must thank François Lévêque for useful comments, and Takeru Akazawa for providing me with a translation of pertinent material. All of these people are responsible for helping to make this paper more amenable to interpretation; however, they cannot be held accountable for its arguments.
