ABORIGINES OF THE SOUTH-EAST OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA 47) 
A large elliptical flake (22 x 12 x 5 ems.) implement with continuous marginal 
trimming on one side only. A beantiful tool. (See fig. 8). From KR, 5 site. 
Nine large (all over 10 cms, in length), somewhat rectangular, flat-end scraper (1?) 
tools; some with side trimming. From inland sites, ; 
Scrap pieces collected, such as some untrimmed flakes, bladelets and points, have 
not been included in the above census, Total, 327. 
The following points ara given concerning the above, 
Among the tula-like trimmed flakes (included in the scraper list) are a 
number of large-sized tools (8 ems. and over), which are exceedingly well trimmed, 
The side serapera are mostly poor examples made from rather irregular 
flakes, The so-termed ‘‘large size’’ side scrapers, all about 12 cims, or over, assume 
the form almost of a cleaver or a light chopper type of tool, 
A point of significance is that of all the medium to large sized implements, 
in approximate figures, only twenty were from the coastal sites, whereas over 
three hundred were collected from the inland sites. 
Microtrruic Types, 
Poms. South-Hast Bondi Points. Micro forms. Complete (115); with 
broken tips (48) ; poor and partly trimmed (51). Larger forms: Complete (89) ; 
with broken tips (43); poor and partly trimmed (58). 
Woakwine Points. Micro forms; Complete (169); with broken tips (19). 
Larger forms; Complete (89) ; with broken tips (9)- 
Buandik Points, Micro forms (52); larger forms (15), Bondi and Woak- 
wine form flakes untrimmed (37). 
Asymmetric Points trimmed (1), Total Points, 789. 
Seements, Ordinary (9). Narrow (6). Rudder form (7), Crescents (1). 
Half-moon (8). 
Trarezes, Symmetrical, with untrimmed upper margin (7). 
Prescers (1), Sorapurs: Side (7); Double sided (1); Semi-discoidal (5). 
Total Microliths, 836, 
Concerning these microlithic implements. The ‘‘larger’’ forms included 
are actualy longer (some measuring up to 6 ems, and a few even longer) than 
the standard of up to 3 ems. prescribed for ‘‘micro’’ types, But even though 
beyond such a dimensional standard, these longer specimens—most of them not 
being much above 3 emis, —so obviously belong to this point suite, that their inclu. | 
sion here is considered justified and convenient. 
The Woakwine points, with very few exceptions, are all trimmed from the 
left side, Also inchided are occasional pieces with trimmed butt, some of these 
also being spurred butts, 
A. feature of interest is that out of a total of over 800 microlithie forms 
(including ‘‘larger’’ forms), the vast. majority were collected from the coastal 
sites; only 13 specimens being taken from sites on the inland ridges. 
Discussion ON IspLements. While this large collection provides scope for 
considerable detailed work, a few points of special interest may be mentioned. 
One striking feature is the large number of small ‘'points,’" mainly of miero- 
lothic dimensions, which oecur on the coastal sites in association with the vast 
quantities of Tyrbo remains, A study—discussed in Part, I1I—of these shell 
remains gives some indication of bow the aborigines treated these molluses in 
order to extract the ‘‘meat’’; and it is suggested that the use of these small flint 
points (especially the larger Bondi and Woakwine pieces) was as a pick to remove 
the ereature from its shell.
