1932 Jrnl. Royal Anthropol. Inst. 62 261 A fair proportion of lunates and other microliths showed a peculiar retouch... The back of the implement is not blunted in the ordinary way, but is trimmed obliquely from both surfaces, the result being to make it sharp instead of blunt.

1949 W. F. Albright Archaeol. Palestine iii. 59 The Natufian was a thorough-going microlithic culture, consisting largely of flint blades and points, most typical of which is the so-called lunate, a crescent or arc-shaped blade, probably used to tip reed arrows.
