Peculiarities of eneolithic flint production in northeastern Bulgaria
This work is devoted to the results of studying the features of the production of tools from Dobrudzian flint in the Eneolithic on the territory of Northeastern Bulgaria. The data of the archaeological context and a comprehensive study of flint complexes using technical-morphological and traceological methods testify to the complex structure of the organization of this strategically important branch of the economy, which included the extraction and processing of flint raw materials by professional craftsmen in specialized workshops. The wide distribution of the products of these workshops - high-quality tools - characterizes strong economic ties both between the Eneolithic settlements of different regions of Bulgaria, and with settlements of synchronous neighboring cultures of southeastern Europe.
