Abstract
The 4th millennium BC in the Near East is a period of momentous social change. In
both Mesopotamia and Egypt state societies based on new political structures developed
and expanded concomitant with a large set of associated social, economic and cultural
features. The complexity of these new structures is well reflected in the full range of
the archaeological record; however, this record has been exploited unevenly and many
archaeological data sets have not been fully integrated into the narratives and explanations
of the rise of social complexity.
Comparison of the lithic industries.
