This paper describes observations at a native mining place in the Mount Davies area of South Australia where Nakako (who first encountered white people in 1961) and Pitjantjatjara men quarried stone for the making and hafting of stone knives. It also records the making of hafted stone adzes among Ngadadjara near Gill Pinnacle, east of the Rawlinson Ranges, Western Australia.
