On the left back of the Nile there are terraces with flint deposits that seem to have been frequented by Middle Paleolithic humans, who dug pits into the rich deposits and knapped the flint into cores for easy transport before leaving the area. Knives like this one were then carved at their destination after the cores were traded. Size: 3 W x 7.25 H (7.6 cm x 18.4 cm), 8.7 H (22.1 cm) on included custom stand.
