Description: | Dibble or digging tool. Very light brown with buff cortex. Class 9d.
A very crude dibble or pick made from a nodule which has been roughly shaped into a prism. The tool has a triangular cross section both on the neck and on the main body of the nodule. The tip seems to have been bevelled or sharpened by a longitudinal "coup de burin'". This unique specimen ressembles the so-called "Chalossian" "coup de poing" (Lower Palaeolithic) on the one hand, and the historic pick (Dynastic) on the other.
Armant cemeteries Areas 1000 & 1100. Cultivation. AR30.
