SiteComments: 

A number of stone tools, all dating to the Middle Stone Age were identified in the vicinity of a rocky ridge in the northern section of the development site. The material is mostly hardened shale. Cores, flakes and unspecific tools (probably all scrapers) were identified. The high ratio of cores and flakes to tools seems to indicate that this was a factory site where material, obtained from local outcrops, was worked into tools (one such area is identified by the coordinates presented above). The density of material varies somewhat over the area, but is places it approximately 5 objects per 1 m 2 .
It is recommended that this ridge is avoided. If this is not possible, a systematic surface collection should be done to recover some of the artefacts.
