Some significant changes occur during the Neolithic who reflected to all aspects of the flint industry - from the raw material acquisition via techno-typological parameters until the functional connotations of different artefacts categories. The empirical corpus of the study contains assemblages coming from 18 different sites. Expectedly whatever changes are attested as occurring alongside the evolution on the Tell settlements, there is no striking rupture and discontinuity in the flint industry as claimed on the basis of fragmentary assemblages coming from other sites belonging to different cultural stages/periods of the Neolithic. The paper ends with a series of challenging questions referring to different level of our knowledge and understanding of the gradual changes of the Neolithic lifeway.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья содержит краткий обобщайщий обзор кремневых ансамблей неолитического периода в Болгарии (VI тыс. до н.э.). Прослеживается их эволюция, которая в зависимости от контекста имеет разные проявления и может быть названа по разному - инновация или трансформация. В течение неолита обнаружены некоторые существенные изменения, которые касаются всех аспектов кремневой индустрии: происхождения, добычи и использования кремневого сырья; технико-типологические параметры индустрии; функциональные характеристики отдельных категорий артефактов. Основное проявление этих изменений состоит в микролитизации индустрий. Эмпирическая база исследования состоит из колекций, происходящих с 18 неолитических поселений. Выявленны особенности эволюционного развития кремневых ансамблей из теллей и отмечены отличия по сравнению с коллекциями из кратковременных обьектов иного предназначения. На базе широкой основы представленного материала в статье в форме дискуссии сформулированы некоторые существенные вопросы относительно нашего знания и осмысления неолитического образа жизни.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Neolithic</kwd><kwd>flint assemblages</kwd><kwd>formal toolkits</kwd><kwd>microlithization</kwd><kwd>Balkan flint</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>неолит</kwd><kwd>кремневые ансамбли</kwd><kwd>характерные типы орудий</kwd><kwd>микролитизация</kwd><kwd>Балканский кремень</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Гацов, И., Гюрова, М.
