最近在科尔哈和北方伯利兹地理上有限的含燧石区的其他地方进行的考古工作表明，有人大规模开采燧石生产石器。前古典晚期的作坊标志着燧石加工工艺专业化的开始，这种工艺在古典晚期和后古典早期继续存在。世俗的项目，如大椭圆形双面，切片钻头工具和棱柱形刀片，以及非世俗偏心和茎macroblade文物是独特的晚期前古典和晚期古典车间。前古典和古典时期燧石工具的分布范围已被追溯到几个同时代的网站，超越了燧石轴承带以北。科尔哈被认为是前古典时期晚期的主要生产和分销中心;虽然它在古典时期晚期仍然是生产中心，但主要的分销中心可能已经转移到阿尔金山。
Recent archaeological work at Colha and at other localities in the geographically restricted chert-bearing zone of northern Belize has revealed large-scale exploitation of chert for stone tool production. Workshops dated during the Late Preclassic period signal the beginning of craft specialization in chert working that continued in the Late Classic and into the Early Postclassic periods. Secular items such as large oval bifaces, tranchet bit tools and prismatic blades, as well as nonsecular eccentrics and stemmed macroblade artifacts are distinctive of the Late Preclassic and Late Classic workshops. The distribution sphere of Preclassic and Classic period chert tools has been traced to several contemporaneous sites that lie beyond the chert-bearing zone to the north. Colha has been identified as the primary production and distribution center during the Late Preclassic period; although it remained a production center in the Late Classic period, the main center for distribution may have shifted to Altun Ha.
