HK70-71, Har Karkom, Israel; g) hk71 hutfloor

HK71a, b, and c contain over 19 hutfloors and cleared areas and at least two flint workshops according to E. Anati (http://www.harkarkom.com/Hkcorpus1-99.php)

• HK71a. Remains of 7 hut floors, aligned in direction NW-SE, with a large oval area cleared of stones (20x14 m in size) in the middle, 4 small, irregularly shaped hut floors NW, and 3 round hut floors (3 m in diameter) SE. A trail connects some huts. Flints of the Upper Palaeolithic and BAC period.
• HK71b. On south of the site 71a, there are 4 small, round hut floors (2-3.5 m in size, respectively) and a flint workshop. Flints of the Upper Palaeolithic period.
• HK71c. 30 meters south of site 70, along the edge of the mountain, there is a geological formation of large, oval bulbs and a flint workshop of the Upper Palaeolithic period. Middle Palaeolithic flints were also found at the site.

The HK71 sites are predominately Upper Palaeolithic with some Middle Palaeolithic flints (at HK71c). This photo shows one of many hutfloors and clearings. The objects in the next photos were found on this cleared area. (Exact site location uncertain.)
