[EN] Our aim in this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of the lithictools used to procure and transform the materials consumed as food d uring the Middle Neolithic in the western Mediterranean region. We focus on three tool categories: projectile weapons (points and geometric microliths), butchery tools and sickle implements. The numerous assemblages studied Íll recent years provide information on not only the role played by these instruments and the importance of related activities in different sites, but also reveal recurrences in the choice of raw materials, tool morphology and their methods of use. We int roduce sorne method ological points to evaluate the contribution of use-wear interpretations, especia...
