MALI, Neolithic, c. 8000-2000 BC, flint tools.
    The guy I got them from tells this story: his contact in Mali has his people pick these up as they travel up and down the Niger River.  When they get a bucket of them he packs them up and sends them to my guy.  He tells me that some of them were wrapped in newspapers and that some of the newspapers had notations on them related to where they were acquired.  But, he continues, US customs has always opened the packages and unwrapped everything, so no telling where they came from after all that.
