Caption

Colorful patinated “old” flint items recovered from Qesem cave. These items were collected by the cave's inhabitants and brought to the cave from varied landscape localities outside of the cave. Most items were recycled and resharpened in a way that clearly preserves the original outline and patina cover of the original specimen.
