The thickest portion of the implement is along the median ridge. Both ends have
facets approximately at right angles to the two faces. Both edges are coarsely worked,
mainly on the convex face.
Fig. 95. Cat. no. H, P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 5, fig. 8). Luxor. (Figure shows
convex face.)
Flint — light — opaque. Patina — slight. 6.5 X 5 X 1.5 cm. Flaking — irregular radial.
The edges are wavy and only very coarsely worked. The whole implement is roughly
triangular in shape, with two edges somewhat convex, and the other slightly concave.
All portions of the edge show approximately the same amount of use.
Fig. 96. Cat. no. P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 5, fig. 9). Luxor. (Figure shows
convex face.)
Flint — light — opaque. Patina — concave face, yellowish — convex face, slight. 7 X 4.5 X
2,5 cm. Concave face — single cleavage surface. Convex face — radially flaked — portion of cortex
retained at A.
The thickest portion of the implement is at D. From D, end C is steeply beveled.
It shows some evidence of use as a scraper. End B has considerable polish, probably
due to use.
Fig. 97. Cat. no. go, P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 7, fig. 8). Luxor. (Figure shows
convex face.)
Flint — light — opaque. Patina — brownish. 6X6X2 cm. Concave face — single cleavage
surface with cone of percussion at A. Convex face — four longitudinal facets.
The implement is nearly uniform in thickness. End A has a facet approximately
at right angles to the two faces. The remainder of the edge is beveled from the convex
face. The whole edge seems to have been used for scraping. The implement is practi-
cally square.
Fig. 98. Cat. no. , P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 5, fig. 11). Luxor. (Figure shows
convex face.)
Flint — dark — translucent. Patina — slight. 8 X 4 X 1.5 cm. Concave face •—mainly a
single cleavage plane, with a few small radial facets along its edges. Convex face—radially flaked —
portion of original cortex at A. Cf. H. R. Hall, ‘ Palaeolithic implements from the Thebaid ’ (Man,
vol. 5, no. 19, London, 1905, p. 33-37) pl. C.
The thickest portion of the implement is along the median ridge. End B shows no
retouching, but the remainder of the edge shows retouching through use.
