Abstract
Sixty groundstone artifacts were unearthed in the Tel Yosef excavations. Most of the artifacts were made from limestone or dolomite, some of them were made of fine-grained or vesicular basalt, sandstone, beachrock, granite and exotic minerals, such as quartzite. The Tel Yosef groundstone assemblage exhibits a high degree of similarity to other Pottery Neolithic groundstone assemblages, inter alia in type frequencies.
