44 sites were sampled from the Upper Pliocene (βNb
2) basaltic flows, from the
western flank and the distant eastern flank of the Levant Fault in the Buqeia area
NW of Tel Kalakh and west of Homs. Thermal demagnetization led to the
identification
of consistent directions of remanence in most sites. Normal, Reversed
and Intermediate polarities are identified, with Reversed polarities dominating.
The Intermediate polarity sites were excluded and the mean directions of the
Reversed sites were reversed.
