The neolithic stone implements on the otherhand are of finer forms, often highly polished, andmade of many varieties of stone besides flint (seefig. 4). But the mere fact of an implement havingbeen fashioned by chipping alone is not decisive ofits paheolithic character, because certain varieties ofimplements of neoiiibic time still continued to bemade by chipping only.
