Flint Procurement and Exploitation Strategies in the Late Lower
Paleolithic Levant examines twelve lithic assemblages from Qesem
Cave. Potential flint sources were located, petrographic thin
sections of archaeological and geologic samples were studied, and a
geochemical analysis was performed. The results show that flint
from local Turonian sources was often brought to the cave, forming
most of the identified flint. Flint from non-Turonian geologic
origins was also used in noteworthy proportions, in specific
typotechnological categories. The availability of desired flints
around the cave, highly suitable for the production of the
commonly-used blades, as well as for the production of other tools,
probably played a role in the decision to settle there. The notable
proportions of non-Turonian flint types, a pattern that repeats
itself through time, demonstrate consistency in accessing sources
containing non-local flint, implying the existence of knowledge
transmission mechanisms concerning the distribution of sources and
the suitability of specific flint types for the production of
specific blanks/tools.
