As the Aborigines of Tasmania called their stone implements "tronatta," I think it advisable to use this word in preference to all others When speaking of them.
"Tronatta" means a stone implement manufactured by the Tasmanian Aborigines, and it does not bear on the vexed question whether we have to consider these amorpholitic implements as eolithes or as archaeolithes.
The tronatta represents the typical archaeolithic stage in the evolution of the stone implements, somewhat modified by a considerable admixture of implements of eolithic character.
Specimens sourced from various places such as: Mona vale, Melton Mowbray, and Old Beach.
