The use-wear analysis of some samples of lithic tools carried out in some PPN site of the Middle Euphrates (Tell Mureybet, Jerf el Ahmar, Tell Halula and Akarçay Tepe) allow us to show some technical changes taking place in the area between 10.000 and 7.800 cal b.C. We relate these technical changes to the economic and social changes taking place during this time period.
