Özet

Hakemi Use is a mound in southeastern Anatolia where rescue excavations have recently brought to light cultural remains dated to the late Neolithic from the Hassuna and Samarra periods. The lithic assemblages from this site were produced from flint and obsidian. Although flint is available locally, obsidian was imported but its sources are as yet unknown. Retouched elements are generally rare among the lithic assemblage. Most of the blades and bladelets are represented by the mesial parts of the blanks, and were obtained by unidirectional flaking. Debitage products such as core tablets and crested blades are rare. The study of the groundstone objects is still ongoing. Thus, this paper reports the results of the analysis of the knapped stone products recovered during the first and the second excavation campaigns at Hakemi Use. © 2006 Elsevier Masson SAS.
