JERUSALEM, July 28 (Xinhua) -- Israeli archaeologists have uncovered an ancient flint blade workshop dating back about 5,500 years, near the southern city of Kiryat Gat, the Israel Antiquities Authority said in a statement on Monday.
The site attests to an advanced industry, where skilled individuals produced Canaanite blades using sophisticated techniques, offering a rare glimpse into early specialization and social organization at the start of the Early Bronze Age, researchers said.
