	abstract = {The distance-decay model postulates that stone artefacts decrease in size as the distance between the stones{\textquoteright} source and place where they are manufactured increases. This effect was attributed to the need to carry lighter-weight materials over long distances. However, archaeological findings from the early Neolithic period in southwestern Egypt indicate that the function of the tool, rather than the distance of the raw material{\textquoteright}s source, is a more accurate assessor of the size of a tool.},
