Abstract
⺠Bidirectional knapping technology is a hallmark of PPNB chipped stone assemblages. ⺠We present a means for calculating targeted blade productivity of bidirectional blade cores. ⺠It is based on theoretical concerns, experimental knapping and refitting studies. ⺠The scheme is illustrated using an archaeological assemblage from Kfar HaHoresh. ⺠Variable blade productivity is discussed concerning incipient craft specialization.
