Abstract
Segments are usually assumed To have been used exclusively in stone ar rowheads. This interpretation is challenged by a microwear analysis of seven segments from Jubilee Shelter in the Magaliesberg, Transvaal. T he micro-polish on some of those tools resembles polish that is obtain ed from working vegetal material such as wood and sedge.
