They are predominantly found at sites in Lebanon (ancient Canaan). They are the type tool of the Énéolithique Ancien (Ancient Chalcolithic The Chalcolithic ( ) (also called the Copper Age and Eneolithic) was an archaeological period characterized by the increasing use of smelted copper.

Stylet (anatomy)
A stylet is a hard, sharp, anatomical structure found in some invertebrates. For example, the word ''stylet'' or stomatostyle is used for the primitive piercing mouthparts of some nematodes and some nemerteans. In these groups the stylet is a hardened protrusible opening to the stomach. These stylets are adapted for the piercing of cell walls and usually function by providing the operative organism with access to the nutrients contained within the prey cell. The mouthparts of tardigrades, diptera and aphid Aphids are small sap-sucking insects in the Taxonomic rank, family Aphididae. Common names include greenfly and blackfly, although individuals within a species can vary widely in color. The group includes the fluffy white Eriosomatinae, woolly ...s are also called stylets. In octopodes, the stylets are internal, needle-like bent rods within the mantle, the vestigial remnants of an external shell. References Nematode anatomy {{Animal-anatomy-stub ...
