Abstract
Since the late 1990s, flintmines where cortical tool blanks (tabular scrapers, fan scrapers, Jafr tools) were produced in large numbers, are known from the Jafr region in SE Jordan. In 2000 a comparable mining region was discovered in NE Jordan, which has been under closer investigation since 2010. This paper will discuss the characteristics of the location of these resources and the manners of raw material procural. Finally, the socioeconomic background will be hypothetically addressed.
