Thank you. Still interesting to know: I've never heard of cemeteries covered by a layer of plaster. And that one pit burial under the wall of a ruined house is also weird; under inhabited houses, yes, but this? Those NEGarians were a bit off. Arminden (talk) 17:35, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Vegan416, and thank you very much for making this article available in English.
Could you please check two issues, which possibly got lost in translation? One is flagged in the topic here-above (the "cemetery building"). The second regards the flint tools:
"The most common flint tools are the drilling tools (drills and awls). Ref: Abadi, I., and L. Grosman (2019). "Sickle blade technology in the Late Natufian of the Southern Levant". In Near Eastern Lithic Technologies on the Move. Interactions and Contexts in Neolithic Traditions..."
It failed verification (the full text is here). The term "awl" does not occur at all. The word "drill" only appears once: "... the increasing use of perforators might represent an elaboration of drilling technology." Is Abadi & Grosman (2019) the wrong source? Thanks.

You are correct. It was a problem of translation from the Hebrew article. The correct translation I should have used is "perforators" ("both assemblages were characterised by very high proportions of perforators". I'll fix it now. Thank you.Vegan416 (talk) 16:41, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
