During the excavation at Contraguda (Perfugas) in Northern Sardinia, a long blade workshop was found; it probably dates from the Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic (late 4th- 3rd millennium cal. ВС). The aim of this paper is to describe the different stages of this blade production in order to evaluate its position in the economic system of Mediterranean Late Neolithic communities. Based on the study of several thousand flint remains, this work allows us to propose a reconstruction of this blade production in seven stages: raw material supply near the site; selection of the nodules and core roughing out; transport of these pre-shaped blanks to the site; first blade flaking by indirect percussion; production of the long blades by pressure with a l...
