This large, regular blade, made using the lever-pressure flaking technique, is part of a technical tradition specific to northern Mesopotamia, the roots of which lie in experiments made in the upper reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers at the end of the 5th and during the 4th millennium BCE. Between 2900 and 2500 BCE, their use is attested on a very large scale and extends as far as Mari, which marks the limit of the spread of this model towards southern Mesopotamia.
