almost only obsidian, mostly very regular bladelets obtained by means of a chipping strategy (usually pressure technique); cores and waste were rare and didn't belong to the bladelet bipolar reduction sequence --> material was mostly imported (from Göllüdag in the earliest part, from Nenezi in the later part of the Early Neolithic) in the form of semi-worked products and shaped into tools in situ;
very few end-scrapers and elongated javelin points found; most typical retouched tool was the micro-perforator (often irregular, asymmetrical, curved tiny points on the tips of small blade fragments) which was, according to the traces on it, used on a asoft material as groovers rather than borers.
tools were frequently used for plant and wood working (cutting, scraping);
Flint: small to medium sized pebbles with a rolled cortical surface found in small quantities in the débitage (yellow flint with thin black inclusions or reddish brown flint, both local) --> flints were used in ad hoc débitage strategy to make expedient tools;
a few diagnostic pieces of blade production were found on a beige-colored flint (fairly uniform blades: 11-16 mm, 3-4 mm thick, maximum of 50 mm long), some of the blades had two glossed edges; they were re-utilized intensively, had standardized shapes and no pertaining débitage remains--> beige flint was not readily available in the area, therefore imported as semi-finished tools
