BIFACED STONE IMPLEMENTS FROM SOUTH-EASTERN 
SOUTH AUSTRALIA 
By P. DES. STAPLETON 
Summary 
This paper records the occurrence, and furnishes description, of biface flaked flint 
implements collected near the shore in the vicinity of Cape Northumberland, Hundred 
of MacDonnell, County Grey, South Australia, in 1906. 
In more recent years, Mr. C. Kurtze and his son, of Portland, Victoria, collected large 
numbers of these unusual stone artefacts near Cape Northumberland and from various 
camp sites along the coast to the south-east and north-west. Apparently much of this 
collection has been sold to tourists and museums, both in Australia and abroad. And 
although many specimens were collected and disposed of, it seems no record was 
made of their occurrence and distribution, or of the circumstances of their collection.
