Over some of the inland deposits upper Palaeolithic [4.4] sites have been found. These sites suggest that the miliolites were formed and stabilized before the upper Palaeolithic hunters came into the picture. [In 9.8.2 the stratigraphy, from bottom upwards, is stated to be as follows: (1) a fluvial deposit with Lower Palaeolithic tools, overlain by (2) the earlier miliolite formation (M₁) which is followed by (3) another fluvial deposit with Middle Palaeolithic tools, which in turn is capped by (4) a second miliolite formation (M₂).]
