ABSTRACT Kaizer Hill is a Pre-Pottery Neolithic A flint and limestone quarry site situated in central Israel. During systematic collection and excavation at the site, a large quantity of limestone wedges was recovered. This study reports the results of a detailed morphological, technological and functional attribute analysis conducted on these artifacts. The results indicate that these artifacts were indeed utilized for the expansion of natural cracks and fissures in the bedrock, with the use of forceful blows for their insertion. While some consistent morphological traits can be identified, there is a high degree of variability in most aspects of their morphology, and it seems that minimal effort and planning were invested in their production. Nevertheless, although the Kaizer Hill wedges apparently conform to the definition of ad hoc tools, they played a crucial role in the quarrying conducted at the site.

石灰石楔块：Kaizer Hill采石场的临时采石工具

摘要Kaizer Hill是一座新石器时代的陶土厂，位于以色列中部，是一座火石和石灰石采石场。在现场系统地收集和挖掘过程中，回收了大量的石灰石楔块。这项研究报告了对这些人工制品进行详细的形态，技术和功能属性分析的结果。结果表明，这些文物确实被利用来扩大基岩中的自然裂缝和裂缝，并利用强力吹打将其插入。尽管可以识别出一些一致的形态特征，但是在形态的大多数方面都存在高度的可变性，并且似乎在其生产上投入了最小的精力和计划。虽然如此，尽管Kaizer Hill楔形显然符合临时工具的定义，
