Israel discovers prehistoric stone tool chipping site
Baku, March 4, AZERTAC
A prehistoric site, dating back about 250,000 years, was discovered near the northern Israeli city of Sakhnin in the Galilee region, Xinhua reported citing the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).
The IAA noted that the remains of a flint industry found at the site indicated that it was used for chipping and shaping stone tools in the Middle Paleolithic period.
Archaeologists mentioned that in the period there was still no use of metals and ceramics, and flints were multipurpose to chop, cut, dig in the ground and more.
They noted that the site probably served as a major source of high-quality flint, and was therefore active for tens of thousands of years.
The discovery of the site is of great importance as it contributes details about a period for which there are not many sources of information in Israel, they added.
The next task, according to the researchers, is to find out where the Neanderthals who used the site lived.
