Abstract:
This research aims at an analysis of flaking techniques of stone tools excavated from the site of Moh Khiew 2. Samples comprising core tools, flake tools, utilized micro-flakes and wasted flakes were studied in this research. Statistical analysis of size, weight, flaking scars, type and
colour of raw materials, area of flaking and original cortex, edge angles and drawing of the lithic samples were also conducted. This analytical programme suggests that during the Pleistocene to Holocene, around 25,000-3,000 years ago, the prehistoric man lived in
Moh Khiew 2 made tools out of various types of stone which occured naturally around the cave such as limestone, siliceous shales, sandstone, chert, jasper, gyserite and chalcedony. They had been brought its into the cave to produce many series of stone tools which were made by direct percussion
with hammer stone technique and never changed the technique in accordance with cultural layer
