Excavations in the Western Negev Highlands Results of the Negev Emergency Survey 1978-89. Saidel and Haiman (Editors), 2014

In the course of Mordechai Haiman’s fieldwork, 17 fragments of ground stone tools and 28 pieces of waste from the production of ground stone implements were collected from the following sites in the Negev Highlands: Site 1 (Ramat Matred 3), Site 7 (Nahal Mitnan Cairn Field Cluster 1/Jebel Tiwal); Site 23 (Har Horesha), Site 26 (‘Ein Hameara), Site 27 (Har Saggi 1), Site 33 (Har Saggi 5), Site 22 (Kadesh-Barnea 95/2), Site 250 (Map 200) and Site 304 (Map 200) (Haiman 1991a: 82*, 94*, 1991b) (Tables 7.1-7.2). This assemblage is very small and was collected at a time when there was a tendency to overlook this type of material culture (Abadi 2003: 11-12).
