Abstract: In the Near East “ sickles” or “ glossy pieces” occur for the first time during the Natufian period. These tools are either “ sickle blades” or “ sickle elements”. “ Sickle blades” are used hafted or hand-held as single cutting tools. “ Sickle elements” are inserted in a haft in order to create a composite instrument. When sickles are made from flint, they are easily recognized since they usually bear a macroscopic gloss that covers a wide area on both sides of the tool. Experimental and microscopic studies have shown that the majority of these tools were used as sickles to harvest cereals or, less frequently, soft siliceous plants such as reeds and typha.
Les faucilles apparaissent au Proche-Orient dès le Natoufien et deviennent de plus en plus fréquentes au Néolithique. On les retrouve sur les sites sous forme de «lame-faucille » ou d' «éléments de faucille » armant les manches pour former des outils composites. Plus exceptionnellement, des faucilles composites plus ou moins fragmentaires sont préservées. Certains auteurs considèrent que l'évolution morphologique de ces instruments composites traduit une recherche d'efficacité qui ne cesse de s'intensifier depuis l'adoption de l'agriculture jusqu'à sa généralisation.
