(pp. 55–56)

Keywords: flint, knapping, economy
A total of 5128 flint artifacts was collected from the excavation at Beqo‘a. Approximately 70% of the flint artifacts were retrieved from the Chalcolithic layer (Stratum III); the remainder were from the Early Bronze Age IB (Strata II and I). The Stratum III assemblage is homogeneous and typical of Late Chalcolithic Ghassulian assemblages. As the site is located within an environment of available raw materials, flint production was an integral part of the site’s economy.
