HK148b Aterian Hut Site, Har Karkom, Israel, Gallery 3 -- N and NE Sector c. greater than 100.000 to 24,000 BP; d) hk148b #16a equidv2

Aterian hutfloor HK 148b, NE Sector, artifact #16a; flint.

Tentative interpretation (James Harrod): Artifact #16a seems to be intentional representation of combination of images: horse or wild ass + gazelle (dorcas?)+ rhino head (?) + vague shape like a human skull. The angle of this photo and the one that follows seems to represent what appears to be an equid, a horse or wild ass. Another artifact seemingly representing an equid was found nearby, see image (k).
