— which had been inhabited as far
back as 250,000 years ago — to study
their rich collection of bones and arti-
facts. He took with him a portable
infrared spectrometer, a device that
enabled him to analyze mineral samples
on-site — the first time this equipment,
common in chemistry laboratories, was
used at an archaeological dig. The
device helped reveal that animal bones
found piled in one cave, Kebara, were
placed that way by the cave dwellers
and were not a result of dissolution in
some parts of the cave and preservation
in others. This led to the conclusion
that Neanderthals were trend-setters in
home design: they were among the first
to divide their caves into separate ares of
use, with a hearth at one end and a
garbage dump at the other.

Youth Village
Helps Children

The immaculately maintained campus
with its trim, lush lawns and beautifully
restored old buildings, has the atmos-
phere of an exclusive and expensive pri-
vate school. And yet the Manof Youth
Village, near Acre in norther Israel,
houses 120 of the country's toughest,
and most disadvantaged teenagers.
Manof is an educational theory put
into practice. Established in 1975 by
the Rothschild Foundation and the
Hebrew University's National Council
of Jewish Women Research Institute for
Innovation in Education, Manof is also
supported by the Jewish Agency and the
Israeli government.
The school day at Manof is rigorous.
The children are awakened at 5:30 a.m.
to clean their rooms and get ready for
lessons at 8 a.m. These go on to 3:30
p.m., after which there are extra-curric-
ular activities, which include classes in
music, art, sport, and drama, followed
by supervised homework. Lights go out
at 11 p.m.
Maya Naphtali, 19, a graduate of
Manof, is now serving in the army's
reconnaissance unit. After leaving
Manof she spent a year at Hadassah
Neurim residential village as part of
Youth Aliyah's Second Chance program.
"Manof taught me that I'm not
alone in the world," explains Ms.
Naphtali, who admits to quarreling bit-
terly with her mother and whose father
abandoned the family when she was a
baby. "The beauty of the place and the
teachers inspired something deep inside
me, igniting a spark somewhere." Ms.
Naphtali hopes to enter a teaching
training college after the army.
