"This paper will discuss the so-called %22other stone industry%22 from Tell Arbid Abyad (Upper Khabur Basin, north east Syria). It concerns the excavations of a Czech project under the direction of Inna Mateiciucov\u00E1, which is joined to the Syrian- Polish Archaeological Expedition working at Tell Arbid. The excavation found Late Neolithic settlement activity from the beginning of the 6th millennium BC. No natural sources of compact rocks exist on the site and in its neighbourhood. Every find of stone from archaeological contexts therefore had to be imported to the site. The prevalent limestones (72.3 %) are represented by angular chips and pebbles. They are present as 0.14 % of the total recognised artefacts. Basalts (21.9 %) are the dominant material within the recognized artefacts (82.69 %). We have supposed the limestone chips originate from an alluvial fan because, according to the geomorphological map, its southern margin is roughly 10 km to the north of the archaeological site." .
