Abstract

In this article the results of a microwear analysis of flint tools from Late Neolithic levels of occupation (dated at ca. 6 000-5 000 ВС) in Tell Sabi Abyad in northern Syria are presented. This analysis has been carried out as part of a spatial analysis of the so-called Burnt Village, one of the Neolithic settlements excavated at the tell. Evidence for plant-processing, wood-processing, butchering, skin-processing, plant and animal-processing, boring and carving is discussed, and attention is given to the provenience of these activities in the Burnt Village.
