Traceological analysis of lithics from the Camel Site, al-Jawf, Saudi Arabia: an experimental approach to identifying mineral processing activities using silcrete tools
Yamandú H. Hilbert,Ignacio Clemente-Conte,Rémy Crassard,Guillaume Charloux,Maria Guagnin,A. Alsharekh +5 more
TL;DR: A survey in the central area of the site identified clusters of flakes and other flintknapping remains in the lower areas between the sandstone spurs and larger silcrete tools directly underneath the animal depictions, possibly from prolonged contact with the soft and abrasive sandstone that constitutes the rock spurs where the animals were carved as discussed by the authors .
