Antelias Cave was a large cave located 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) east of Antelias, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northeast of Beirut close to the wadi of Ksar Akil. It was discovered by Heidenborg in 1833.

Henri Fleisch re-examined the material from Zumoffen's excavation and concluded that it was not solely Aurignacian but showed evidence of successive industries present as late as the Neolithic. Raoul Describes also excavated the site and found numerous tools made of bone including two harpoons which are now in the Museum of Lebanese Prehistory. Auguste Bergy also made a small excavation here and another sounding was made possibly in 1948 by J. Ewing who described the industr
