Microliths

Description

Microliths from Burry Holms, Gower. Each microlith illustrated here is less than 50mm (2 inches) long.
Microliths were widely used across Europe during the Middle Stone Age, or Mesolithic.
This period dates from the end of the Ice Age (about 9200BC) until the introduction of agriculture to Wales (4000BC).
