Keywords: industry
The flint assemblage retrieved from el-Munṭar el-Abyad comprises 300 items, mainly dating to Middle Bronze Age II, with few items dating from earlier phases, which are otherwise not represented at the site: the Neolithic (the Yarmukian culture), Chalcolithic and the Early–Intermediate Bronze Ages. The MB II lithic assemblage is characterized by large geometric sickle blades, probably brought to the site as finished implements or blanks.
