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

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

Tentative interpretation (James Harrod): Artifact #16d seems an excellent representation of an equid, a horse or wild ass, the artist utilizing a natural bump for the eye and flaking nostrils and the ears. Compare other candidates for representation of an equid from HK 148b, artifact #10 and artifact #16a.
