On the basis of the study o f stone artifacts some characters could be show n as follows:
1. All artifacts a re very small in size.
2. Flakes a re mainly produced by direct hammer percussion and occasionaly by bipolar technique, microblades are flaked by indirect flaking method and all microcores are boat- shaped ones.
3. The tools are made on the flake except two specimens and include into scrapers, gravers, pointed tool, aw l and knife with blunted back. The scraper is the main type and the end scrapers a re common.
