Archaeological excavations in southwestern Sulawesi, central Indonesia, have uncovered a unique collection of Mid-Holocene stone artefacts. The manufacturing techniques used to produce these stone implements differ from those recovered from Late Pleistocene sequences, which were manufactured using fairly straightforward free-hand and bipolar percussion. From c. 8 Ka, there is an abrupt appearance of small serrated arrowheads (‘Maros points’), backed microliths, and osseous points. The origins and implications of this Mid-Holocene techno-culture – known as the 'Toalean' – remain unclear. While these artefacts have been compared to bifacial points and microliths in Java, Japan, and Australia, our recent work reconstructing the reduction sequences of the Toalean artefacts suggests the production techniques were in fact quite distinct, raising the possibility of an independent development in Sulawesi. This paper explores the Toalean lithics of South Sulawesi in detail, and introduces a previously undescribed tool type dubbed the ‘sawlette’.
