Those look really like Szeletian points. maybe some of them are discarded cores. We so not know what hominid the Szeletians were, but this article implies they were homo sapiens of some variety - Aurignacians is the blanket name. However, similar stone points found elsewhere are attributed to Neanderthals. Perhaps it was a common technique shared by both hominids at the time.
