HK148b Aterian Hut Site, Har Karkom, Israel, Gallery 1 -- SE Sector
c. greater than 100,000 to 24,000 BP;o) hk148b #7 elephant

Aterian hutfloor HK 148b, SE Sector, artifact #7.

Tentative interpretation (James Harrod): While the previous artifact #6 had a very vague suggestion, this artifact seems much more clearly to represent an elephant. The base is flaked out in a curve to indicate the legs. Detailed chipping is used to fashion the head and trunk; the trunk with a slight S-curve.
