This fascicle is the thirteenth in the series of Level One
publications of the excavations at Franchthi Cave and is the third
and final installment of the report on the site s chipped stone
industries. The objective of Catherine Perles s study is to make
sense of the chronology of the site in its economic, technological,
and typological dimensions. All phases of the Neolithic are
represented at Franchthi Cave. Rich with more than 3,000
reconstructed pieces, this study offers a representative and
technical typology that is unequaled today. The first part of the
analysis offers diagnostic elements to facilitate comparisons
between the lithic sequence and surface dating and is more
descriptive than interpretive. The second part is dedicated to a
step-by-step analysis of the Franchthi material in a well-defined
chrono-stratigraphical framework. The third and most interpretive
portion of the study addresses itself more specifically to those
who are interested in the socio-economic organizational problems of
Neolithic societies.
