Abstract
This report presents an assemblage of 227 flint items recovered from Ashqelon, Afridar. Four distinctive industries were observed: Canaanean blades, tabular scrapers, ad hoc tools and bladelet-based tools. The distinctive bladelet-based industry is typical of the late Chalcolithic period, however, at Ashqelon, it seems to represent an early phase of EB I, as suggested by other finds at the site.
