wrought Archseolithes. If we imagine the Indical face of 

 an external flake a little more worked, we arrive at this 

 stage. On the other hand, it is pretty certain that larger 

 splinters, resulting fi'om the breaking of a block, were used, 

 whether they presented a good Pollical face or not; speci- 

 mens of this type are very common, and a good represen- 

 tative is shown in the following figure. 



FIG. 5- 



Cb/1. ANGULAR ARCH^OLITHE, WITHOUT A POL- 

 LICAL FACE, SHOWING TRACES OF UTILI- 

 SATION. Old Beach. 



Not unfrequently a certain amount of work was 

 spent in trimming the edge of such a splinter, though the 

 Pollical face was all but serviceable, a specimen of this 

 type is shown in the following figure. 



FIG. 6. 



Cb/2. ANGULAR ARCH^OLITHE, WITHOUT A RE- 

 GULAR POLLICAL FACE, BUT WITH A 

 BEVELLED CUTTING EDGE: Geilston. 



The next higher stage are specimens which have a 

 well-marked Pollical face, without much work being spent 

 in trimming the Indieal face ; the edges, may have Deen 

 used, just as they were if sharp, or subjected to previous 

 trimming. If a little more work has been spent m work- 

 ing tJie Indical face, it is almost impossible to distinguish 

 such specimens from those of group Ea. A specimen of 

 the former type is shown in fig. 7. 



FIG. 7. 



Cc/L ANGULAK ARCHJEOLITHE WITH A GOOD 

 POLLICAL FACE; LEFT EDGE USED WITH- 

 OUT TRIMMING. (1) Maryvale (Tea Tree). 



This group includes some of the larger specimens that 

 have come under my notice, one of them measuring 5J x 

 5| inch, and another 7^ x Ah inch. It is, however, very 

 probable that specimens of this type must be considered 

 as rejects. 



(1) The specimen above figured is also a good instance 6f re-cliipping ; the traces 

 of use on the left edge are without a patina, while those on the upper and right 

 edge (not visible in the figure) as well as the remainder of the surface on both faces 

 are covered with a greyish-white patina.
