comments on structure[edit]

Hey @Deluminator. Just looking over the article I can see a few changes that can be made:

content headings (e.g. "Lithics") are generally made with two "=" signs, == not 3. Also there should be a level 2 heading for the references. External links should always go last.
"It is believed that the presence of bipolar flaking..." who believes this? Imagine yourself as a critical reader who wants to research this subject, what experts talk about bipolar flaking? We should spell that out in the text where possible, rather than just using the passive voice to note a a general consensus.
There are a few template errors, usually caused by certain parameters being specified wrong (check dates). If you want specific help on how to fix these let me know, otherwise replacing the date with a year or a date in the format of "25 May 2006" will usually work.

Otherwise it looks good. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:18, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
