Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Notes:

Fieldwalking and excavation in the valley, during the first half of the twentieth century largely by Peter Whaley, yielded many microliths (or pygmies as they were called at the time) associated with bands of red clay and soil. The original records and finds appear to be lost to the public and the sites being discovered by modern fieldwalking may well have been first examined during this earlier period. Certainly, a nearby site was extensively excavated around 1902 to 1904.
