Gesher Benot Ya'aqov（GBY）位于胡拉谷南部，而胡拉谷又位于死海裂谷的最北端，是非洲大裂谷系的一部分。该地区是连接非洲和欧洲的陆桥“黎凡特走廊”的一个组成部分，史前时期许多生物通过该走廊进行扩散和生物交换。胡拉山谷保存了人类历史上一个非常重要的现象的数据：记录人类从非洲扩散/迁移到欧亚大陆的考古证据。胡拉独特的沉积学和水文条件，加上沿着广泛而强烈的构造活动，导致上新世-更新世地质构造的暴露复杂而微小。其中之一是贝诺特·亚科夫组（Benot Ya'akov Formation），揭示了许多独特的古人类文物、骨骼化石和大量有机遗骸。它的研究极大地促进了我们对该地区古生态条件的理解，并使非洲和黎凡特早更新世和中更新世的古生态系统之间的比较成为可能，在这些地区，人类在史前时代就已经很活跃了。
Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov (GBY) is located in the southern Hula Valley, which, in turn, is located in the northernmost segment of the Dead Sea Rift, part of the Great African Rift System. This region is an integral part of the “Levantine Corridor,” a land bridge connecting Africa and Europe, through which the diffusion and biotic exchange of many organisms took place in prehistoric times. The Hula Valley has preserved data of a phenomenon of great importance in human history: archaeological evidence recording hominin diffusion/migration out of Africa and into Eurasia. The unique sedimentological and hydrological conditions prevailing in the Hula, along with extensive and intensive tectonic activity, resulted in the complex and minimal exposure of Plio-Pleistocene geological formations. One of these, the Benot Ya‘akov Formation, has revealed many unique hominin artifacts, fossil bones, and a multitude of organic remains. Its examination has significantly contributed to our understanding of the paleoecological conditions that prevailed in the region, as well as enabling a comparison between the paleoecological systems of the Early and Middle Pleistocene in Africa and the Levant, areas in which hominins were active already in very early prehistory.
