HK148b Aterian Hut Site, Har Karkom, Israel, Gallery 2 -- West Sector
c. greater than 100,000 to 24,000 BP; f) hk148b #10 hippo front
Aterian hutfloor HK 148b, West Sector, artifact #10.
Tentative interpretation (James Harrod): This flint artifact appears to bear multiple images, horse + hippo + elephant. At this angle it appears to be hippopotamus-like, with a wide snout and two chips (natural or artificial) that suggest eyes.
