An ancient blade manufacturing workshop was uncovered in Kiryat Gat?The first ever discovered in southern Israel In an archaeological excavation conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority prior to building a new Kiryat Gat neighborhood -Carmei Gat, an advanced flint industry dating back approximately 5,500 years was uncovered ? evidence of specialization in a unique technology. The items, including the flint cores from which the blades were made, are being shown for the first time this summer as part of the tours at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem. Near Kiryat Gat, a 5,500-year-old flint blade production workshop was discovered ? the first ever discovered in southern Israel. The discovery ? evidence of the technological sophistication already at the Early Bronze Age?s onset, includes long flint blades, and even ? a rare occurrence ? the large stone cores used to produce them were also found. These findings were unearthed in a large Israel Antiquities Authority salvage excavation at the Na?al Qomem site (aka Gat-Govrin, Zeita), funded by the Israel Lands Authority in advance of constructing a new city neighborhood - Carmei Gat. This summer, these rare finds will enjoy their first public display, at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem. According to Dr. Martin David Pasternak, Shira Lifshitz and Dr. Nathan Ben-Ari, Excavation Directors on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, ?This is the first time such a workshop has been discovered in southern Israel. Although evidence of the Canaanite blade industry has been discovered in the country?s center and north, there are almost no known workshops for their systematic production. The discovery of a sophisticated workshop indicates a society with a complex social and economic structure already at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age. This is an important find in that it deepens the understanding of both the beginnings of urbanization and of professional specialization in the Land of Israel ? phenomena that led to the establishment of large settlements and that catalyzed the creation of new social structures.? According to Israel Antiquities Authority prehistorians Dr. Jacob Vardi and Dudu Biton, ?An advanced industry was revealed at the site, requiring an extremely high level of expertise. Only exceptional individuals knew how to produce the Canaanite blades. This is clear evidence that already at the onset of the Bronze Age, the local society here was organized and complex, and had professional specialization.?
