Louis Burkhalter

Louis Burkhalter was a French archaeologist and former delegate of the Société préhistorique française (French Prehistoric Society).

He was notable for his exploration and documentation of prehistoric sites in Lebanon and Syria. He made notable collections of Acheulean and Abbevillian bifaces from around the valleys and coasts and compiled an early list of prehistoric sites published by the National Museum of Beirut. Later review of his suggestion notes that large lithics found could have been used for stunning and traps and present no evidence for giant populations.
