Abstract:
The ground stone assemblage from el-Munṭar el-Abyad comprises 48 tools and tool fragments, most of which were retrieved from loci assigned to Middle Bronze Age IIB. The small assemblage includes grinding stones, bowls and mortars, pestles and weights—all connected with food processing. Basalt was the main raw material, probably due to its availability in the vicinity of the site. Morphological, metrical and stylistic standardization of the tools possibly point to a local workshop.
