10 nice Sahara Neolithic stemmed points

This is a group of  10 nice stemmed Sahara Neolithic points from the region of northern Mauritania (south-western Sahara desert).  There are various lithic types and styles.  

The smallest  point is 1 1/16th inch (26 mm) long, it is the reddish point top middle, bas a very tiny tip ding. 

The largest point is 1 5/8th inches (41 mm) long.     

The condition is good, however, about half of the group have a small ding or two, mostly to barbs as seen in the photograph. The side barbs are  the most delicate portion of this type of tool and are often nicked.  Nice group with a variety of style, lithics, and size.

Neolithic populations living around lakes in what is now the Sahara desert; used  these tools  in the hunt for and processing of waterfowl and small

game found along the shores of once abundant Sahara lakes and rivers.  The end of the Ice Age resulted in global climate changes which dried the lakes and forced these Neolithic (New Stone Age) peoples into new modes of existence, either agriculture which was just beginning at the end of the Neolithic, or a nomadic animal husbandry mode of existence. The New Stone Age was a very dynamic era giving rise to agriculture, pottery, and permanent settlements, all of which were milestones in humankinds march toward 'civilized' life. The Sahara Neolithic lasted from 9,000 to 4,000 BP (years Before Present).

I will include my 2-page essay on the Sahara Neolithic to explain something of the Neolithic era and context in which these tools were found.
