Microliths consisting of cores, flakes and finished tools—parallel-sided, blunted back and serrated blades, points, lunates, scrapers and triangles, fashioned on chalcedony, chert, agate, carnelian, etc.,—have also been found. The assemblage is characterized by the crested-ridge technique. From KOLDIHAWA have also been obtained tanged and socketed bone arrowheads. The use of copper appears to have been very restricted, only a few fragments having been found. Mention may be made of a thin knife from KOLDIHAWA. Beads of semiprecious stones and terracotta, sling-balls of stone and clay, querns and mullers [6.19] are the other objects.
