Thousands of flint shards, blades, arrowheads, awls, bores, hand stones, cores, and microliths were found. Also dolomite and sandstone bowls made by chiseling, and one shell from the Red Sea. Chunks of sandstone used to sharpen the utensils and more.
Going by the assortment of the flints the span of activity at the site spans more then 2500 years.
