This paper presents a new techno-typological analysis of a sample of small flakes that were produced through recycling from discarded blanks at the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age site of Ein-Zippori, Lower Galilee, Israel. This study shows that the systematic production of small flakes from previously discarded blanks was not related to a scarcity in raw materials, but rather to specific decisions concerning the types of tools needed to complete necessary tasks. These results are supported by use-wear analysis noted briefly here and presented in more detail in a separate paper. The results indicate that recycling was a significant lithic production trajectory during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. Recycling also contributes to the variability in lithic assemblages from those cultural periods.

“…A refitting project was performed on a lithic assemblage from a WR bifacial waste refuse pit (L. 8071) found on the western outskirts of the site (Schechter et al 2018) during which a sequence of three double ventral flakes was refitted (Figure 12), showing remnants of thin cortex on the striking platform of the parent flake.…”
