ABSTRACT

This study explores the multi-stage specialized production of long and standard Canaanean flint blades for composite sickles in light of recent findings from the Early Bronze Age Canaanean blade workshop at Fazael 4, and the uncovering of a related flint quarry at Tal`at `Amreh Mountain. The new discovery presents a rare opportunity to explore all stages of production from raw material acquisition to the finished Canaanean blades. This study addresses methodological aspects of establishing a link between a quarry and a workshop, efforts invested in flint procurement and transportation, the scale and organization of production, and the economic benefits of the Canaanean blade industry as a specialized production trajectory.

摘要

本研究根据位于 Fazael 4 的早期青铜时代迦南刀片车间的最新发现，以及在 Tal`at`Amreh 发现的相关燧石采石场的发现，探讨了用于复合镰刀的长和标准迦南燧石刀片的多阶段专业生产山。这一新发现提供了一个难得的机会，可以探索从原材料采购到成品迦南刀片的所有生产阶段。本研究探讨了在采石场和车间之间建立联系的方法学方面、在燧石采购和运输方面投入的努力、生产的规模和组织，以及迦南刀片行业作为专业生产轨迹的经济效益。
