The most common types and their frequencies are as follows: (1) blades with flat retouch (2·78%); (2) blunted-black blades (48·85%); (3) obliquely truncated and blunted-black blades (18·51%); (4) triangles (14·19%); (5) trapezes (1·20%); (6) crescents (3·86%); (7) points (10·06%); and (8) other tools (0·55%).
