Khormusan industry was a Paleolithic archeological industry in Nubia dated at 42,000 to 18,000 BP. [1]
The Khormusan industry in Nubia began between 42,000 and 32,000 BP. [2] Khormusans developed tools not only from stone but also from animal bones and hematite. [2] They also developed small arrow heads resembling those of Native Americans, [2] but no bows have been found. [2] The end of the Khormusan industry came around 18,000 BP, with the appearance of other cultures in the region, including the Gemaian. [3] It was succeeded by the Halfan culture.
