| Research Abstract |
This study investigated archaeological records on the early agricultural societies in west Asia, particularly focusing on some Neolithic sites (ca. 9,000-5,000 BC) located under different environmental settings in Jordan, Syria, and Azerbaijan. Among the excavated materials from these sites, stone tools were examined for their tool composition and production technology. In addition, small-sized refuse in sediments was analyzed to specify activity areas, such as for stone-tool production and storage in the settlements. The results of the study indicate that social groups at the scale of the household developed in early agricultural societies not only for daily practices of production, storage, and consumption, but also for the semi-specialized production of stone tools from imported obsidian as well as for the transmission of specialized technology for obsidian-tool production over generations.
