Giv’at Kipod is a basalt hill on the eastern margins of the Menashe Hills, some 20 km south of the city of Haifa was discovered and tested during 2004-2004 by Prof. Danny Rosenberg and Dr. Ron Shimelmitz. Initial surveys and trial excavation at the hill prove to show that Giv’at Kipod (Hedgehog Hill in Hebrew) was a center for the production of basalt bifacial tools, mainly axes and adzes. The hill’s surface is doted with concentration of production waste (reduction loci) yielding mainly waste material (flakes and fragments) as well as preforms and rejects of bifacial tools.
