This collective volume offers a variety of perspectives which come together to offer a comprehensive picture of chert procurement and exploitation in Prehistory in the Near East and the Levant. The contributions include geoarchaeological and geological surveys, mapping chert sources and quarry sites, placed in the broader context of lithic resources and exploitation in the region; case studies of specific sites; and the characterization of chert samples and archaeological finds through macroscopic, mineralogical and petrographic analysis. They also offer studies of the raw material selection and chaîne opératoire involved in lithic production using siliceous rocks, offering insights into the development of lithic technology and tool use in the region, from the earliest evidence through to the role of flint and chert in the technological and economic systems of Neolithic farming communities.
