Hitherto no remains of their temporary camps have been discovered, except microliths. These also contain a few heavier tools like the mace-head or digging weight, chopper, besides a purely geometric microlithic industry. It may, therefore, be divided into an earlier and a later series. The former may be derived from the blade and burin industry, dependent primarily on hunting, while the latter along with geometric forms and heavier tools like the "mace-head" may point towards a food-producing stage. TODD lists the following groups of tools. Microliths (obliquely and wholly blunted, lunates, triangles, trapezes, trapezoids, drills), five types of cores and scrapers, mace-heads and axes.
