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.
