Streszczenie

In 2002, specialized workshops with micro-perforators (microdrills) were found at Tell el-Farkha. The material was well described as seven separate units. Further analysis shows that originally they formed only two separate workshops. Each workshop occupies a similar space. Although we did not find any finished products or raw material in direct association with the implements, it seems that as on the other sites they were used for bead production.
