Abstract
This article presents the flint assemblages from the Neolithic workshops exposed at Giv'at Rabi (East), which produced bidirectional blades, unidirectional blades and bifacial tools. The Neolithic blades were produced from wide cores with relatively few preparations. The bifacial tools included unfinished and finished cortical axes and adzes. These technotypological characteristics suggest that the workshops at Giv'at Rabi (East) should be dated to the Final PrePottery Neolithic (PPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic (PN) periods. The discovery of the Neolithic workshops at Giv'at Rabi (East) contributes to our understanding of the organization of the lithic industries in the region of Lower Galilee during the Neolithic period.
