"The Late Acheulian site at Ain el-Assad, in the oasis setting in the eastern desert of Jordan, presents the first potential glimpse at stratified in situ deposits of late Lower Paleolithic
assemblages from the high desert environs of the Near East." (Rollefson, Gary Orin. 1980. The Paleolithic Industries on Ain El- Assad (Lion's Spring), Near Azraq, Eastern Jordan. ADAJ. 24. 129-144.), Ain al Assad is one of a "cluster of spring sites located in Azraq esh-Shishan on the west edge of the Azraq Oasis, just south of the southernmost extension of the Jebel Druze basalts".
