The Middle Stone Age stone artefacts included cores, flakes and broken flakes identified by the characteristic facetted platform, some had been retouched and shaped into large scrapers and some had been utilised that was identified by light and heavy edge-damage manufactured on a variety of local raw materials that includes hornfels and medium- to fine-grained shale. The distribution of small concentrations of Middle Stone Age stone artefacts can be highlighted at the areas marked S23 and in the vicinity of GPS17, between S1 and GPS1, between S9 and GPS5, as well as in the vicinity of GPS15. Edge damaged and retouched flakes were observed at S1, S17 and S18. No other archaeological material remains were found to be associated with the Middle Stone Age stone artefact surface scatters.
