Tell Neba'a Litani or Neba'a Litani is a medium size tell {{convert|9|km|mi}} west of Baalbek in the northern Beqaa Valley of Lebanon.{{cite book|author1=Université Saint-Joseph (Beirut|author2=Lebanon)|title=Mélanges de l'Université Saint-Joseph|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_SQOAAAAYAAJ|year=1966|publisher=Impr. catholique|page= 80}} I It is located near the spring which is the main source of the Litani River at a height of {{convert|1002|m|ft}}. It was first studied by Lorraine Copeland and Peter Wescombe in 1965-1966 and is accessible via a road which turns from Hoch Barada to the left.{{cite book|author=Francis Hours|title=Atlas des sites du proche orient (14000-5700 BP)|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KlZtAAAAMAAJ|year=1994|publisher=Maison de l'Orient méditerranéen|isbn=978-2-903264-53-6}} Materials recovered included flint tools such as scrapers and the blade from a segmented sickle. Pottery included burnished, painted and red-washed shards, some with incised decoration or lattice patterns. The material resembled finds from Byblos and Ard Tlaili leading Copeland and Wescombe to suggest a Late Neolithic occupation for the tell that extended into the Bronze Age.{{cite book|last=Moore|first=A.M.T.|title=The Neolithic of the Levant|publisher=Oxford University, Unpublished PhD Thesis|year=1978|pages=436–442|url=http://ancientneareast.tripod.com/182.html}}
