Rhwng 9200 a 4000CC (yn ystod y cyfnod Mesolithig) roedd trigolion Cymru yn ennill eu bywoliaeth drwy hela anifeiliaid, pysgota a chasglu planhigion bwytadwy. Roedd tryferi a gwaywffyn yn arfau cyffredin a gallai'r adfachau cerrig (microlithau), oedd yn rhan annatod ohonynt, glwyfo prae ac achosi archoll ddifrifol.
From 9200-4000BC (during the Mesolithic era) the inhabitants of Wales lived by hunting animals, fishing and gathering edible plants. Harpoons and spears were common weapons and the stone barbs (microliths), which were an essential part of their design, could inflict a serious wound on prey.
