Abstract

The stone industry of Gissar culture is one of the most striking phenomena of the Neolithic of Tajikistan. The production inventory of the Gissar sites is presented by tools composed of two types of raw materials: pebbles and flint. According to typological and traceological studies, pebble and flint tools are not fully interchangeable. They refer to different types and applied for various purposes. At the same time, the quantitative ratio of these groups of artifacts varies geographically: on several sites of the Yavan valley (a local version of Gissar culture) the flint inventory prevails. The paper describes briefly the Gissar culture and provides an overview of old and new data on various aspects of the typology and traceology of Gissar production equipment.
