HK70-71, Har Karkom, Israel; e) hk70 storystones2On the climb up from the wadi on the way to HK71, near the mesa edge, not far from HK70. I found many dozens of small black stones with 'boils' on their surface. I counted over 50 and many more were scattered about in the area. I placed them on white stone background for the photo. Tentative interpretation (James Harrod): They appear to be intentionally flaked into geometrics and other complex shapes;it seems unlikely they are completely natural, 'nature-facts'. The stones, and especially, the complex ones, could have a combination of symbols; I call them 'story stones', The previous image shows more. Note. The stones in this photo appear more natural than some in the previous photo. Photo © James Harrod. James Harrod site photos taken on Emmanuel Anati Har Karkom Expedition, April 1996. |
