Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The excavations yielded an assemblage of 138, 043 pieces of worked stone which represents only a fraction of the stone debris that littered the site as a result of the manufacture and use of stone tools throughout its prehistoric occupation. Items included pebbles, cores, blades, flakes, chunks, microliths, scrapers and arrowheads. The initial classification suggested that the site contained evidence for both the manufacture and the use of stone tools. The evidence for manufacture consisted of the quantities of knapping debris, cores, core trimming and rejuvenation flakes, irregular flakes and chinks. Evidence for use lay in the modified artefacts and in the blades and regular flakes many of which were doubtless used without modification. The modified artefacts included scrapers, borers, bifacial points, and a variety of microliths. A number of factors suggested that some of these, at least, had been used. | ||||||||||
