Early Bronze Age (ca. 3600–2000 B.C.) lithic assemblages of the southern Levant have been thoroughly analyzed, both from the technological and typological viewpoints. Among the characteristic flint tools of this period are tabular scrapers and Canaanean (sickle) blades. While the former tool was in use during the previous Chalcolithic (Ghassulian-Beersheva cultures), Canaanean technology was an innovation of the Early Bronze communities, which spread over the second half of the fourth millennium and the entire third millennium B.C
