Stillbay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stillbay (archaeological) industry is the name given by archaeologists to a mid-Palaeolithic stone tool manufacturing style, which may have developed from the earlier Acheulian types. In addition to the Acheulian stone tools, use was also made of bone and antler picks.
It is broadly analogous to the Mousterian culture in Europe and the Fauresmith culture in South Africa.
It is named after the site of Stillbay in South Africa where it was first described.
