More White Stone Circles, Caches, Har Karkom, Israel; a) hk93 limestone circle

HK93a. "In the middle of the central promontory, 3 hut floors are aligned in a row in a N-S direction and are connected by a path. Middle Palaeolithic site. Finds: BAC Flint; worked flints of the Middle Palaeolithic period. Some 40 m to the south, an LP chopping tool. 30 m north, below the cliff, an Acheulean hand-axe" (according to E. Anati; http://www.harkarkom.com/Hkcorpus1-99.php).

Tentative interpretation (James Harrod): Large pentagonal pointed stone in white limestone stone circle, in which I found flints with apperance of flying bird, three zoomorphic flints, vaguely suggestive of boar, bear, and/or elephant.
