Scrapers
c7.s17.t2.1
14 No. 1, KDL. A large semi-circular scraper on a flattish piece. The underside seems to be quite natural. From the upper a large flake has been removed, which along with the thick straight sided back facilitates the handhold. The flat surface slopes steeply. Its margin has been partly retouched and partly battered. Beautiful black-white appearance. Found in *situ* lower gravel on 9-12-1960.
c7.s17.t2.2
15 No. 5, KDL. A small rectangular scraper-cum-borer on an irregular flattish piece. The margins on two sides are minutely trimmed by step-flaking to yield a scraping edge. The junction of two adjoining sides ends in a borer-point. Black-and-brownish white. *In situ* lower gravel. 9-12-1960.
c7.s17.t2.3
1 No. 15, KDL. Scraper-cum-point on a small flattish Levallois-like flake. The upper surface has two flake scars with the margin retouched. The underside having a bulb has also been trimmed so as to give a point and a scraping edge. Brownish chert. *In situ* lower gravel. 10-12-1960.
c7.s17.t2.4
18 No. 1, DSR. A side-scraper on a thick plano-convex semi-circular piece. The chord has been roughly flaked to give a scraping edge. Brownish chert. Loose from the Dahisar Nadi. 15-12-1960.
c7.s17.t2.5
12 No. 1, KDL. Scraper on an irregular flake. Only the edge is obliquely retouched. Brownish chert. From the mixed deposit overlying the cemented lower gravel in Nala 1. 8-12-1960.
c7.s17.t2.6
2 No. 18, KDL. Scraper-cum-point on a small flattish flake. Brownish chert. From the mixed deposit overlying the cemented lower gravel in Nala 1. 8-12-1960.
c7.s17.t2.7
4 No. 12, KDL. Scraper on a roundish Levallois-like flake. No trace of platform, but where there is a tiny bulb, the upper surface bears some marks of trimming. Black chert. Mixed deposit. Nala 1. 8-12-1960.
c7.s17.t2.8
9 No. 27, KDL. Hollow Scraper on a thick nodule. Deeply flaked along the margin on two surfaces. Brownish chert. Mixed deposit. Nala 1. 8-12-1960.

c7.s17.t2.10
6 No. 18, KDL. Borer or a Point on a thick triangular piece with a thick butt. It appears that advantage was taken of a naturally pointed nodule by slightly touching its two sides to yield an effective borer. Blackish-white chert. *In situ* lower gravel. 10-12-1960.
c7.s17.t2.11
7 No. 11, KDL. Point on a thick triangular nodule with a thick butt. One side and the tip of the point retouched. Brownish chert. *In situ* lower gravel. 10-12-1960.
