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

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. At the angle of this photo the artifact gives a vague suggestion of a human skull.
