Microliths fashioned on chalcedony, agate and chert consisting of finished tools like blades, blunted backs, lunates, scrapers, serrated blades and points, besides numerous cores, flakes and blanks, are found in considerable numbers. Some flakes, cores and tools exhibit the employment of the crested-ridge technique [16.15.2]. Thin and narrow parallel-sided blades form the majority of the finished tools. This lithic assemblage of the site resembles that of c. India and the Deccan [4.14.5, 6], and essentially belongs to the category of ‘short blade industry.’
