In France, one unusual site stands out: the Mesolithic cemetery of [[Téviec]], an island in [[Brittany]]. Numerous flint microliths were discovered here. They are believed to date to between 6740 and 5680 years BP - quite a long occupation. The end of the settlement came at the beginning of the [[Neolithic]] period.<ref>Schulting, R.J.

One of the skeletons that has been found has a geometric microlith lodged in one of its vertebra. All indications suggest that the person died because of this projectile; whether by intention or by accident is unknown. It is widely agreed that geometric microliths were mainly used in [[hunting]] and [[fishing]], but they may also have been used as [[weapon]]s.<ref>{{Cite book
