Abstract: The article discusses the response for Ksâr 'Akil proposed chronology on mass spectrometry determinations on shells to lessen possibilities of dating diagenetically compromised samples on conducted analyses of all dated shells. It searches possibilities for provide differences on Ksâr 'Akil and Levantine chronologies. Data provide reliable estimates for modern Initial Upper Paleolithic at Ksâr 'Akil and determines early chronology for humans in the Levant.
