Technologically a distinctive feature of the industry is the virtual absence of the crested-ridge-guiding technique [16.15.2]. Although occasional tools measure 40 mm or more in length most are between 15 and 20 mm and some measure only 5 to 10 mm. These latter are perfectly symmetric in form and are very carefully retouched. It is indeed a puzzle as to how such tiny pieces could at all have been hafted and used.
