(pp. 53–59)
Hamoudi Khalaily and Ofer Marder
Keywords: Jordan Valley, raw materials, macehead, tripod bowl
Sixty groundstone artifacts were unearthed in the Tel Yosef excavations. Most of the artifacts were made from limestone or dolomite, some of them were made of fine-grained or vesicular basalt, sandstone, beachrock, granite and exotic minerals, such as quartzite. The Tel Yosef groundstone assemblage exhibits a high degree of similarity to other Pottery Neolithic groundstone assemblages,
inter alia
in type frequencies.
