Fractures on jasper microliths are comparable to those on flint, indicating similar functionality.
Microliths hafted as straight points showed mainly parallel fractures, while barbs displayed varied wear.
Use-wear analysis identified most microliths were employed as projectiles in hunting and hide-working activities.
Findings at the Malý Faraon rock shelter suggest a nuanced understanding of Mesolithic subsistence strategies.
