Legends:

326: Flint and obsidian (far right) laurel leaves. The larger is over 25 cm, the smaller one is only 10 cm.

327: Deer antler. Close view of the base. This antler fell naturally. The base, that was attached to the skull is the active part of an antler billet. it is made of dense, thick, non-structured bone.

328: Full european deer antler. Stray find (it naturally fell). It will become an antler billet once its base is ground, its length reduced to 15-20 cm and the 2 first tines are cut.

329: Partially (on the left) and fully (on the right) polished axes. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

330: Polished axes. Polishing is so perfect that they still shine ! Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

331: Biface with heavy aeolian patina. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

332: Biface from Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

333: Flint biface with heavy aeolian patina. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

334: Large Maya excentric. Can you see the character's face ? Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

335: Both faces of a predynastic gerzean knife, similar to the Gebel El Arak knife (but in much worse condition). The fully polished blade is pressure flaked on one face only. The handle is an hippopotamus carved tooth. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

336: Flint knife with nicely preserved tree bark wrapping around its handle. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

337: Large flint knives. The lower one is over 30 cm. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

338: Spearhead that looks like a solutrean laurel leaf. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

340: Different arrowheads shapes. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

341: Predynastic flint knives blades (Gebel El Arak type). Knapped (not polished) preform in the center, those preforms where fully ground then pressure flaked (scars visible). The lower blade is over 30 cm ! Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

342: Strangely shaped arrowhead. Its lower part looks like a piercing leaf shaped point, while the upper looks like a cutting point. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

343: Spear point or knife ? I've forgotten its description. Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York. (Sorry for the reflection)

344: Can't remember the description of this item, but it definitely looks like a carcharodon megalodon tooth, the gigantic ancestor of the great white shark. Is it a coincidence ? Egypt. Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

345: Sickle blades. Egypt. Seen at the Metropolitan Museum of New York

346: Large micro-denticulated sickle blade. Egypte. Metropolitan Museun of N.Y.

347: Percussion cone on a large spall , typical of hard hammerstone use. The violence of the choc created a non-linear breakage (wavy surface). In most cases only a part of this cone stays on the flake, making its bulb.

348: The harder the hammerstone, the more visible the buld is. Here is a massive bulb on a flake (quartzite hammerstone was used on it). Platform view (the impact point is below the white dot)

349: The harder the hammerstone, the more visible the buld is. Here is a massive bulb on a flake (quartzite hammerstone was used on it). Profile view, the platform is on the right

350: Large genuine knapped axe. Stray find. Private collection
