Fig. 107 and 108. Cat. no. J|, P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 5, fig. 1). Luxor.
Flint — light — opaque — striped with bands parallel to the two faces. Patina — face shown in
fig. 108, dull yellow — face shown in fig. 107, varied, following the different bands of flint. 7 X 5.5 X
2 cm. Face shown in fig. 108 — radially flaked — nearly flat, except for a slight bevel along the edge.
Face shown in fig. 107 — radially flaked — portions of original cortex retained at A.
The thickest portion of the implement is along the median ridge. From the surface
A, there is a pronounced bevel to the edges. The whole implement is roughly rectangular.
The edges are slightly wavy and show little sign of use.
Fig. 109. Cat. no. J, P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 5, fig. 2). Luxor. (Figure shows
the more convex face.)
Flint — light — translucent. Patina — slight. 8 X 5.5 X 2.5 cm. Flaking — radial — leaving
one face nearly flat.
The thickest portion of the implement is in the region of B. There is a pronounced
beveling to the edges on the face shown in illustration. At A, a portion of the original
nodular surface has been retained. Between C and D is a celt-like edge. Between E
and F occurs a narrowing of the whole to form a handle. The edges of the implement
are retouched except at G.
Fig. 110. Cat. no. P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 6, fig. 2). Luxor. (Figure shows
convex face.)
Flint — dark — translucent. Patina — slight. 7 X 4 X 1.5 cm. Concave face — single cleavage
plane with cone of percussion at B. Convex face — four longitudinal facets.
The thickest portion of the implement is at A. At B is a small facet at right angles
to the two faces. Between C and D, the edge has been worked to the form of a snub-
nosed front scraper. The remainder of the edge has slight secondary chipping due to
use. Possibly neolithic.
Fig. 111. Cat. no. , P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 6, fig. 7). Luxor.
Flint — light — translucent. Patina — yellowish to gray. 7.5 X 4.5 X 2 cm. Flaking — radial.
The thickest portion of the implement is along a longitudinal median line. The form
of the implement is roughly rectangular. The edges are fairly straight, and finely
retouched. Possibly neolithic.
Fig. 112. Cat. no. 62 , P. M. Haynes collection (pl. 7, fig. 13). Luxor.
Flint — light — translucent. Patina — slight to yellowish. 7 X 4.5 X 3 cm. It is evidently a
core and might belong to any of the ages of stone.
