The site consists of a low ridge in the eastern portion of the study area that crosses the study area roughly from the north to the south and south east. The entire ridge is covered in MSA and LSA artefacts where the locally available CCS is exploited. The MSA component is characterised by a high frequency of blades. From casual observation it seems as if a higher frequency of concentration of artefacts are found on the eastern side of the ridge where there is a clear view to the Dry Harts River roughly more than 2km to the east. Where higher artefact concentrations or where a clear edge to a concentration could be determined within the ridge these were recorded as Site 1 A to Site 1 I. These concentrations are how ever seen as part of one knapping site (Site 1) where there is a high ratio of artefacts to cores. This site consists of MSA concentration of blades, triangular flakes and cores. LSA flakes with retouch. High concentration of 20-m²
