Do we Assume that these rocks have some evidence of fashioning into tools by human hands?

They are described as “small” but we get no actual size parameters. The fact that the archeologists found it necessary to describe them as “small” makes me a little leery.

If they are small, do we assume they were designed for small warriors?

Sometimes a rock is just a rock.

Were they assault weapons? ;-)

They look more like asphalt weapons

The key difference is bifacial flaking. If you have repeated flake removal on both sides of the stone it is extremely unlikely to be natural.

I’m no expert by any means, but I sure would think these were ordinary rocks if I found them on the ground.

I was really hoping for the flying disc of fire from The Mahabharata.
