The main features of the structure, together with excavation techniques and finds collected, are described. The intensive flint exploitation at Defensola allows a connection to an “ industrial-type” activity, along with a probable “ surplus” production. The high level of complexity and extension of the mine are part of a composite regional frame, in which flint exploitation lasted over three millennia, from the V I to the III BC. In this direction, both the Defensola mine and the Gargano area played an important role in flint-trading activity in south-eastern Italy}, title={The Early Neolithic mine of Defensola "A" (I 18): flint exploitation in the Gargano area in Southern Italy}, type={Text}, keywords={Gargano, chambers and pillars mining structures, Early Neolithic, mining phenomenon}, }
