| Comment | Highly standard lithic tool types, especially the "Cayönü tool", and an abundant number of non-formal tools form the tool kit of this stage. Binder states that the long obsidian blade from which the "Cayönü tool" was made had been flaked with a lever that was used standing up and also sugests that this method could have been used since the late phases of the cell buildings. Naviform cores with double striking platforms fall from use and the ratio of flake to blade is reversed. Tools which had been in use for a long time either decrease in number or disappear. This shows a trend from "...a local development towards a pastoral life." The inventory of DK (lr1), EA (lr2) and DT(lr3) includes numerous chipped discs. |
