before to work metal, humans used stones, curved very precisly,
judge by yourself the details of those arrowheads

- origine; Algerian south Sahara desert, near Timimoun - Adrar
- date; 15000 years - neolithic tools

and also,
- same period, but issued from Libya, not far from Misorata, a small axe
