The lithic assemblage of Girdi Qala and Logardan: Preliminary observations

During the 2019 campaign, the chipped stone collections recorded in 2016 and 2018 at Girdi Qala Trench D and Logardan Trench D were the subject of a detailed analysis. The aim of the study, which will continue in the next years, is to offer a better understanding of an important component of 4th-3rd millennia BCE archaeological records. Traditionally considered as a heritage of prehistoric times and poorly considered, protohistoric chipped stone tools can offer important insights on aspects not available from other realms of the material culture.
