Abstract

The excavations in Or Yehuda yielded 107 flint artifacts reflecting several industries characteristic of the Late Chalcolithic period. Worth of mention is the presence of Canaanean blades, which appear to be an integral part of the Late Chalcolithic-period toolkit at the site. In addition, the results of an analysis of a stain observed on one of the sickle blades, plausibly the remains of an adhesive, are discussed.
